The loss of water vapor through the stomata in a plant’s leaves
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to cool down your house on a hot summer day by opening the windows. This is similar to how a plant loses water vapor through the stomata in its leaves to stay cool. Just as opening windows allows hot air to escape and cool air to circulate in your home, the stomata in a plant's leaves act like tiny windows, releasing water vapor and helping to regulate the plant's temperature.
