Re: Is transpiration the only way through which leaves lose water?
Plants do not only lose water as vapor, as by transpiration. The leaves also lose liquid water by a phenomenon known as gutation. Gutation takes place through structures called hydathodes similar to stomata. Gutation mainly occurs when transpiration is difficult due to high air humidity or when the plant is placed in a watery soil.
