What is the loss of water from plants is known as?

The correct answer is, 'Transpiration'.Key Points

• Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants.
  • Transpiration plays a major role in the process of photosynthesis.
    • Water is essential for a plant's growth and survival, but only 0.5-3% is used by its roots for growth and metabolism.
    • The rest of the water exits through the transpiration process from the stomata in plants.
    • More leaves mean bigger stomata. The transpiration rate is higher in such plants.

Additional Information

• Plant saturation is the limit at which the light no longer increases the rate of photosynthesis.
  • Light is used to increase the rate of photosynthesis in plants.
• Herbigation is a process of applying herbicides with the help of an irrigation system.
  • It is a method used to control undesired plants. 
• Evaporation is the process in which liquid turns into vapor.
  • Evaporation also plays a major role in the process of photosynthesis.
