What are stomata?
(N/A) Stomata are microscopic apertures or pores primarily found on the epidermis of leaves. They are surrounded by two specialized cells known as guard cells. Their main functions include the exchange of gases ($CO_2$ and $O_2$) between the plant and the atmosphere and the process of transpiration,which is the loss of water vapor from the plant surface.
