Answer

Leaves of a plant assist in excretion in the following ways:

  • Stomata: Most carbon dioxide is released through tiny openings called stomata in the leaves.
  • Transpiration: Plants lose excess water through a process known as transpiration, which is the evaporation of water from the leaf surface.
  • Waste Storage: Many waste products are stored in leaves, which are eventually shed, allowing the plant to excrete these materials.
