What are the two very important processes in the life of a plant? The answer is Photosynthesis and Respiration. Plants exchange gases through these physiological processes. To accomplish these two processes many chemical reactions are needed.
Plants get carbon-dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) gases from its environment for its physiological activities. From air, a plant take carbon-dioxide and leave oxygen by Photosynthesis. On the other hand, a plant take oxygen from the air and leave carbon-dioxide by Respiration.
Is there any special organ in the plant to breathe? No, they do not have any special organ. Actually they exchange gases through the stomata of leaves and lenticels on the bark of the mature stem.
