Respiration
Plants Stomata(singular-stoma) Each part of the plant
respires individually.
Stoma is a small opening
or pore on the surface of
leaf or the stem which is
surrounded by two bean-
shaped cells called
guard cells, which allow
the opening and closing
of the stomatal pore to
take in or out the gases
(oxygen in or carbon
dioxide out).
Root hair Roots of plants also
breathe with the help of
root hair.
Lenticels (Woody stems) Woody stems have small
openings on their bark
called lenticels for
breathing.
