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 to let a breeze through. This process is similar to how plants release water vapor through the stomata in their leaves to regulate their temperature and maintain moisture levels. Just as opening windows allows air to flow and cool the inside of your house, the stomata act like tiny windows that open to let water vapor escape, helping the plant stay cool and hydrated, much like how the breeze refreshes your home.
