The small openings on a plant leaf that allows oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to keep your house at the perfect temperature by opening and closing windows. Just like you adjust the windows to let fresh air in and stale air out, stomata on a plant's leaf open and close to regulate the exchange of gases. The windows are like the stomata, with you acting as the plant, managing the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide to maintain a balanced environment inside.
