What is the term for the process by which plants lose water vapor through small pores in their leaves?

Explanation

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from a plant’s leaves through tiny pores called stomata, helping to draw water and dissolved minerals up from the roots through the stem. This process also helps cool the plant, similar to how sweating cools the human body. Transpiration rates increase in hot, dry, or windy conditions, when more water evaporates from leaf surfaces.
