Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plants release water to the atmosphere through transpiration, which is the process where water is evaporated from the surface of leaves and stems. This is different from evaporation, which refers to the process where water directly changes from liquid to gas without the involvement of a living organism. Degassing refers to the release of gases from rocks or other solid materials, and infiltration refers to the process of water entering the ground.
