saturation point: the stage which no more of a substance can be absorbed into a vapour or disolved into a solution. (the stage beyond which no more of something can be absorbed or accepted)
transpiration: water being absorbed by plants (though the roots i guess =P)
hope i helped somewhat

The Saturation Zone is where the ground is saturated (full of) water. Transpiration is ground water lost to the atmosphere by plants.

Saturation zone: A subsurface zone in which all the interstices are filled with water under pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. (below water table)
Transpiration: The process by which water absorbed by plants, usually through the roots, is evaporated into the atmosphere from the plant surface.

not sure what transpiration is, but the saturation zone is the point at which in the ground that the dirt is saturated with h2o. thanx for 2 points
