The loss of water from aerial parts of living plants is known as transpiration. Transpiration may be stomatal (80-90%), cuticular (3-9%) and lenticular (0.1%). Transpiration remain absent in submerged hydrophytic plants because stoma are completely absent in the leaves of the submerged plants, e.g Anacharis and Potamogeton.
