1 Transpiration is the procedure by which plants acquire nutrients in the air and lose their own moisture in the process. The leaf tissues is important for this process.

0 The process by which the plants lose excess water in the form of water vapour from the aerial part of the plants is called as transpiration.
All plants continuously absorb water through their roots. This water is conducted upward through the stem and is distributed to all the aerial parts including the leaves. Only a small quantity of this water (about 2%) is used by the plant in photosynthesis and other activities. The rest of it is almost lost to the atmosphere as water vapour.
Transpiration is a very useful process for the plants for two reasons: first, to get rid of the excess water absorbed and second, for cooling the plant in hot weather.
The process of transpiration can be studied by a number of experiments using a potometer. One such experiment on transpiration is studied using a Darwin's potometer or Ganong's potometer.
