The small openings on a plant leaf that allows oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out
Real World Example
Picture trying to manage the airflow in your house to keep it comfortable; you open and close windows to let fresh air in and stale air out. Similarly, plants use stomata, tiny openings on their leaves, to regulate the exchange of gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. Just as you adjust your windows to maintain the right indoor environment, stomata open and close to control the plant's internal atmosphere, ensuring it has the right balance for photosynthesis and respiration.
