This is some info on Transpiration
When cloud particles become too heavy to remain suspended in the air, they fall to the earth as precipitation. Precipitation occurs in a variety of forms; hail, rain, sleet or snow.
Imagine yourself on a hot summer day. When you get thirsty, you drink water to rehydrate. But where does this water go? Some of it goes to bodily processes, but, on a hot day, you are likely sweating. Sweating, or evaporative cooling, is how your body prevents overheating. Water comes out through sweat glands and evaporates as it hits the air, leaving your skin feeling cooler.
Plants also 'sweat,' but this process is called transpiration. Plants use their roots in the ground to draw up water and nutrients. Plants also use much of this water for cellular processes, but some of it leaves the plant and goes into the air.
Transpiration is the when water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as from leaves but also from stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth.
Plants lose gallons of water every day through the process of
transpiration, the evaporation of water from plants through pores in
their leaves. Up to 99% of the water absorbed by roots is lost
through plant leaves.
