Answer
Gaseous exchange
Explanation
Solution
A lenticel is a porous tissue found in the periderm of secondary organs and the bark of woody stems that contains cells with significant intercellular gaps. Because the bark is normally impermeable to gases, it serves as a pore and takes part in the direct exchange of gases between interior tissues and the environment.
