evaporation

transpiration

condensation

precipitation

Answer 1

The process of releasing water through holes in the leaves of plants is called transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which water is transported from the roots of a plant to the leaves, where it evaporates and exits through small openings called stomata. This continuous movement of water through the plant helps to cool the leaves, maintain cell turgidity, and facilitate the uptake of minerals.
