(i) Transpiration. 

(ii) ‘Loss of water as water vapour from the aerial parts of the plant is called as transpiration’. 

(iii) Covering the pot with a plastic sheet would prevent the escape of water vapour from the pot.

(iv) Transpiration helps in the ascent of sap by producing a suction force acting from the top of a plant. 

(v) A similar empty plastic sheet with its mouth tied, with no potted plant kept in sunlight will show no drops of water.
