Explanation
The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. This cycle involves several processes including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and transpiration. Among these, the process that describes water being evaporated directly from plants is called transpiration. During this process, water is carried to different parts of plants, such as leaves, flowers, and stems, where it is converted to vapor and released to the atmosphere. Condensation, precipitation, and assimilation do not describe the process of water being evaporated directly from the plants.
