Under conditions such as high humidity, transpiration can be limiting. Under such conditions, what important role would a pore-like structure play, and what is the name of such a structure?
A) It would help maintain ion transport via pores called hydathodes.
B) It would help maintain osmotic potential via pores called ion-channels.
C) It would help maintain water movement and therefore ion transport via pores called hydrophores.
D) It would help maintain a negative membrane potential via pores called symplasts.
E) It would help maintain diffusion gradients via pores called antiports.

Pore-like structures called hydathodes play a crucial role in maintaining water movement and therefore ion transport, especially under conditions of high humidity where transpiration is limited. These structures allow for the exudation of water, helping to relieve internal water pressure and facilitate nutrient transport.
