The mucous membrane produces a secretion that lubricates the stoma and protects it from infection. The outer layer of skin protects the stoma from injury and infection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Purpose_of_Stomata\"><\/span>What is the Purpose of Stomata?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The purpose of stomata is to allow the passage of gases between the atmosphere and the plant&#8217;s internal tissues. Carbon dioxide required by plants for photosynthesis, so stomata must open to allow in carbon dioxide. Plants also release water vapor and oxygen gas through their stomata, so they must also close when it is hot or dry outside to prevent water loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stomata Definition Stomata &#8211; Definition: A stoma (plural: stomata) is a tiny pore on the surface of a leaf that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"Stomata - Definition","_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Learn about Stomata topic of Biology in details explained by subject experts on infinitylearn.com.
