Temperature, humidity, wind, and light are all environmental elements that can influence the rate of transpiration.
Transpiration is the process through which water is transported from the roots of plants to the leaves and then released into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor. This process is critical for the survival of plants because it facilitates the movement of nutrients and minerals throughout the plant's tissues. Transpiration also cools the plant by evaporating water from the leaves (Home | Transpiration - Water Movement Through Plants - Passel, n.d.). Transpiration is the biological elimination of water through the emission of water vapor, primarily from the stomata in leaves, however it also includes vaporization from the walls of leaves, flowers, and stalks (Trimble, 2022).
