How is transpiration important to the water cycle?

• It is the evaporation of water from the leaves of plants back into the atmosphere, allowing the cycle to continue.

• It results in the deposition of water vapor directly as ice, so water changes states, causing the cycle to move to the next phase.

• It allows plants to absorb water through their roots, which is then precipitated back into the atmosphere.

• It permits the diffusion of water from the surface to water tables deep underground, which restores groundwater supplies.
