The function of stomata in photosynthesis is gas exchange. Stomata are tiny openings or pores found on the surface of plant leaves and stems. They are responsible for the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, between the plant and its surroundings. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in through the stomata, while oxygen, a byproduct of photosynthesis, is released. This gas exchange is necessary for plants to obtain the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis and to release the oxygen produced. So, the correct answer is "gas exchange".
