The plant structure that helps with the prevention of water loss and aids in gas exchange is the stomata. Stomata are small openings located primarily on the underside of leaves. They allow for the exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen while also facilitating the transpiration process, which helps to regulate water loss from the plant. Guard cells surround each stoma and control its opening and closing, balancing the need for gas exchange with the need to minimize water loss.
