stomata
These are amazing photos of the surfaces of leaves, etc...
Stomata are the holes in leaves (usually on the underside) that allow gasses to escape (the oxygen produced by photosynthesis) so they're like the holes that plants use to breathe out...
When stomata are open, water in the leaves evaporates, causing the water to be "pulled" up from the roots...
