Answer: True

Transpiration is a process, in which water is lost by the plant. The water is lost through evaporation from the aerial parts like leaves, stems and flowers. The water is necessary for plant growth, but only small amount of water is required by the plants for growth and the rest 97-99% water is lost by transpiration.
