The Difference between Transpiration and Guttation is significant in understanding the water loss mechanism in plants. While transpiration is the loss of water in the form of vapour from the plant’s surface, guttation is the exudation of water in the form of droplets from the hydathodes. The processes differ in their occurrence, diffusion and regulation by root pressure. The impacts of transpiration and guttation on plants vary and are influenced by factors such as plant type and environmental conditions.
