What are stomata?

Stomata are small pores found on the surface of leaves and stems of plants that allow for gas exchange. They regulate the exchange of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor between the plant and its environment. Stomata also play a role in controlling water loss through transpiration and regulating the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Stomata (singular: stoma) are small pores, typically found on the surface of plant leaves, stems, and other organs. They are essential for gas exchange, allowing carbon dioxide (CO2) to enter the plant for photosynthesis and oxygen (O2) to be released as a by-product. Stomata are regulated by guard cells, which open and close the pores to control the flow of gases and water vapor. The opening and closing of stomata is influenced by environmental factors such as light intensity, CO2 concentration, temperature, and humidity.
