Answer:

Due to stomata.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transpiration occurs mainly through leaves because of the presence of stomata n the lower side of the leaves. Transpiration refers to the loss of water from the body of plants so leaves has small pores which is used by the plant to regulate internal temperature. Sunken stomata lower the rate of transpiration because it is not directly exposed to the surface which protects the escaping water vapor due to air.
