Transpiration is the term used to describe the transport of water through an actual, vegetated plant into the atmosphere. Transpiration is an important part of the evapotranspiration process, and a major mechanism of the water cycle in the atmosphere. Transpiration may also refer to the rate of the water vapor transport through the whole vegetative canopy (that is, through the group of plants).
