The Fact's Behind The We Sweat

Sweating is a mechanism for keeping the body cool in a hot environment. This is important because, if our body temperature rises above the normal temperature by more than a few degrees, it could be life threatening. Our skin has a larger number of tiny holes called pores. When we feel hot, tiny droplets of sweat come out from the pores which evaporate and take body heat away with them. This produces a sense of coolness in our body. Similarly, plants also sweat. In plants, sweating is called transpiration.
