Answer:

There is a relationships between the number of stomata and the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The small pores beneath the epidermis of a leaf is the stomata from theis opening gaseous exchange takes place,water evaporates and oxygen goes out. Stomatal density may increase or decrease the response due to environmental variations in the presence of sunlight and water availability. The opening and closing of stomata are controlled by guard cells. Through the stomata the process of transpiration occurs. the roots absorb water and excess of water evaporates by means of stomata.One fact is leaves under sunlight have higher stomatal density than leaves under shade.
