Give reason why water transpired is water absorbed

Dear Student,

As you know, the plants absorb the water from the soil with the help of their roots. Transpiration is one of the major criteria in the daytime in plants which helps the water to be pulled. The 98% of the water absorbed by the plants is again is lost in transpiration. So, Water transpired is the water absorbed as this water transpired helps in the absorption of water by roots.

Anti-transpirants are used to reduce the process of transpiration. These are generally applied to cut flowers and transplanted shrubs etc thus preventing them from early drying out by blocking the hydrogen ion transport from the stomatal cells. These chemicals also protect from diseases (fungal) and burns. 

Examples: ABA (Abscisic acid) and waxes, etc.
