Plants are living things, and like us, need noses to breathe. The 'noses' of plants are tiny holes called stomata (s), stoma (p) at the underside of leaves. These stoma help the plant exchange gases with its surrounding. Oxygen is produced during the day as the byproduct of photosynthesis, when the plant takes in carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight to make food. At night, the plant rests and does not make any more food, thus consuming oxygen. This whole process is called respiration.

plants breath through small openings in the lower lamina of the leaves called stomata. it involves two processes : one is the light reaction that takes place during day during which it takes carbon dioxide and releases oxyzen. and other is the dark reaction which
takes place in the absence of light and takes up oxyzen and gives out carbon dioxide.
