Identify the key terms in the question: 'excess water vapor', 'leaving the plant', and 'through the leaves'.
Understand that the process involves the movement of water vapor, which is a gaseous form of water.
Recall that plants have small openings on their leaves called stomata, which play a crucial role in gas exchange.
Recognize that the process of water vapor exiting the plant through these stomata is known as 'transpiration'.
Differentiate 'transpiration' from other processes like 'respiration' (exchange of gases for energy production), 'osmosis' (movement of water across a membrane), and 'photosynthesis' (conversion of light energy into chemical energy).
