Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stomata are small openings found primarily on the underside of leaves that allow for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the plant and the environment. They do not typically occur in root cells, may be found scattered throughout the plant but are most commonly found on leaves, and are regulated to prevent excessive water loss. Additionally, stomata are typically more numerous on the lower surface of leaves rather than the upper surface.
