Answer

All the plant parts like roots, stems and leaves get oxygen by passive diffusion, which is required for respiration. Diffusion occurs in plant cells. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the air through tiny pores

in plant leaves called stomata. Oxygen produced by photosynthesis diffuses from the plant through the stomata into the atmosphere.
