Answer
The cells in the leaf of a plant that control the opening and closing of stomata are guard cells. These cells are in bean shape and surround the stoma. These are the epidermal cells and help in exchange of gases by opening and closing of stomata. These also play a major role in transpiration and minimal loss of water. Light is a major aspect of these guard cells.
