Huh, I didn’t even know plants could do that

Oh yeah, plants shed water when they open the stomata in their leaves for gas exchange. To prevent losing too much they preferentially do it when the sun’s down, so you can collect water where there’s no obvious sources by tying a plastic bag around a bunch of leafy branches overnight.
