Why are stomata a necessary feature of plants? [2 pt; L1; II.A] Stomata are necessary because they are the only plant cells that actively undergo photosynthesis. The cuticle prevents gasses from entering cells. Without stomata, there would be no route for gas exchange. The water inside plants has to go somewhere. If it were not for stomata, the water vapor would build up inside the leaf, and the leaf would lyse. Stomata are required because they store the carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis and empty their contents directly into the vascular system.
