The property of makes water which makes it sticks to surfaces as glass is adhesion of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen bonds in water lead to intermolecular attraction between the water molecules.

Adhesion of water is the intermolecular attraction in between water molecules that make them to hold or stick to other surfaces like glass.

Water spreads and forms a thin filmy layer on glass surfaces due to strong adhesive properties of both water and glass. When adhesive forces are stronger, water forms a concave meniscus on the surface.
