The transpiration streams enables the water to move up through the plants. Some of the water is needed in photosynthesis.
- Creates a cooling effect in the plants and helps leaves withstand high temperatures.
- Helps in the absorption of water and minerals from the soil
- Causes the transport of water and minerals in plants
- It allows the diffusion of CO2 gas from the air for photosynthesis.
- It supports photosynthesis and encourages the exchange of gases, helping maintain levels of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere
