When a plant does not get enough water, it will close its stomata to reduce water loss through transpiration. Closing the stomata also means that the plant will no longer bring in carbon dioxide from the air, which it needs for photosynthesis. As a result, the plant's growth will be limited, and it may start to wilt. The plant will still generate oxygen through photosynthesis, but because it is not taking in carbon dioxide, it will not generate as much as it would under normal conditions.
