What Wikipedia says

A hydathode is a type of plant organ, commonly found in vascular plants, that secretes fluid through pores in the epidermis, usually at the tip or margin of a leaf. They are found in a wide variety of plants, from aquatic plants to ferns to flowering trees, where they play a primary role in guttation.
