Transpiration is a process similar to evaporation. It is the loss of water vapour from parts of plants (similar to sweating), especially in leaves but also in stems, flowers and roots. Due to this process the surroundings around the plant becomes cool.

Air plants are called so because they can gather moisture and nutrients from the air through their specialized scales on their leaves, which allows them to survive without being planted in soil. They use their roots to anchor themselves to trees or other surfaces, but they do not rely on the soil for nutrients like traditional plants.
