    Stomata are minute aperture structures found on plant leaves and other above-ground parts that consist of two specialized guard cells surrounding a pore. They allow gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and oxygen to move rapidly into and out of the plant to facilitate gas exchange, and are formed during early plant development to reflect the environment where the plant grew.

    Stomata
    Stomata are minute aperture structures on plants found typically on the outer leaf skin layer, also known as the epidermis. They consist of two specialized cells, called guard cells that surround a tiny pore called a stoma. The word stomata means mouth in Greek because they allow communication between the internal and external environments of the plant. Their main function is to allow gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and oxygen to move rapidly into and out of the leaf. Stomata are found on all above-ground parts of plants including the petals of flowers, petioles, soft herbaceous stems and leaves. They are formed during the initial stages of the development of these various plant organs and therefore reflect the environmental conditions under which they grew.
