Abstract Solar‐driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) has emerged as a transformative technology for clean water generation by localizing solar‐thermal energy conversion at the air‐liquid interface. Beyond production, recent advancements reveal its potential pivotal platform addressing challenges in resource reclamation and environmental sustainability. Drawing inspiration from plant transpiration mechanisms, particularly ion‐selective absorption, long‐distance transport, bioactive enrichment, this review systematically examines bioinspired SDIE architectures that synergistically integrate membrane separation, adsorption, photocatalytic processes. The progress is summarized across three tiers: 1) structural biomimetics replicating natural plants, 2) functional hybridization coupling complementary purification 3) hierarchical integration of multi‐process cascades. highlights material innovation structure design to expand function. Furthermore, implementation frameworks engineering, process optimization, system durability are proposed bridge lab‐scale prototypes with practical applications. future prospects also outlined multifunctional technologies address water‐energy‐resource interdependency, advancing their role sustainable management.
