| | Transpiration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Transpiration is a continuous process caused by the evaporation of water from leaves of plants and its corresponding uptake from roots in the soil. | | | Transpiration cools plants down and enables mass flow of minerals to where it is needed in the plant. | | | Mass flow is caused by the decrease in hydrostatic (water) pressure in the upper parts of the plants due to the diffusion of water out of stomata into the atmosphere. |
