    involved in the process of evaporation?
    A Leaves Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Branches Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Roots Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Stem Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    During the water cycle, the part of the plant involved in the process of evaporation is primarily the leaves . This process occurs through stomata, which are small openings on the surface of leaves. Water absorbed by plant roots from the soil is transported up to the leaves where it is converted to vapor and released into the atmosphere. This specific part of the water cycle involving plants is known as transpiration. Together, evaporation and transpiration from plants contribute to the total water vapor in the atmosphere, influencing weather and climate.
