Stomata
Stomata are pores with special guard cells in leaf surfaces that are the path
for air exchange. They are a sophisticated structure that responds to
environmental conditions such as drought. The veins and stomata tend to be
thicker parts of the leaf and so are often found in the smoke of wildfires
along with the phytoliths from the leaves.
