Question:

What do you think will happen if there were no stomata in the epidermis of the stem or leaves?

Answer: Verified

If stomata were absent, the plant would not be able to exchange gases efficiently with the environment. Carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis would not enter, and oxygen produced during photosynthesis would not be released easily. Transpiration would also stop, reducing the upward movement of water and minerals from the roots. As a result, the plant's growth and survival would be severely affected.
