1. Stomatal transpiration: This is the most common type of transpiration, where water vapor is released through small openings called stomata on the surface of leaves.
2. Cuticular transpiration: This type of transpiration occurs through the waxy cuticle covering the surface of leaves and stems.
3. Lenticular transpiration: This type of transpiration occurs through specialized structures called lenticels on the stems and branches of plants.
4. Bark transpiration: This type of transpiration occurs through the bark of trees and woody plants.
5. Hydathodal transpiration: This type of transpiration occurs through specialized structures called hydathodes, which are found at the tips of veins in leaves.
6. Root transpiration: This type of transpiration occurs through the roots of plants, where water is taken up from the soil and released into the atmosphere through the leaves.

1. Stomatal Transpiration:
- Occurs through tiny pores called stomata on leaves. - Primary path of water loss for most plants. - Regulated by the opening and closing of stomata to balance water loss and gas exchange.
2. Cuticular Transpiration:
- Occurs through the cuticle, a waxy layer on the surface of leaves, stems, and other organs. - Less significant than stomatal transpiration but still contributes to water loss.
3. Lenticular Transpiration:
- Occurs through specialized pores called lenticels on the bark of woody plants. - Provides a pathway for gas exchange and water loss but is less common than stomatal transpiration.
4. Root Transpiration:
- Occurs through roots into the surrounding soil. - Less significant than shoot transpiration but can contribute to overall water loss, especially in certain plant species and environments.
