1.Stomatal transpiration: It is the loss of water through specialized pores (stomata) in the leaves. It accounts for around 80 to 90% of the total water loss from the plants.
2. Cuticular transpiration: Cuticle is an impermeable covering present on the leaves and stem. It causes only around 20% transpiration in plants. It is further reduced due to a thicker cuticle in xerophytes.
3. Lenticular Transpiration: Lenticels are the tiny openings present on the woody bark through which transpiration occurs.
