Transpiration is best described as when water vapor is a by-product of plant photosynthesis. It is the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, moves through plants, and is released as water vapor through small openings in leaves known as stomata. This process plays a crucial role in the water cycle and helps with the cooling of plants and nutrient transport.
