Answer: Some of the water drawn up through the roots exits the plant through pores – or stomata—in its leaves, hence the sweating.As this ”sweat” evaporates, heat is removed from the air, providing a cooling effect. However, if there isn't enough water available or if relative humidity gets too high, the stomata close.
