Answer:

capillary action

Explanation: It is the ability of liquid to flow in narrow spaces against the gravity and is the result of inter-molecular forces between liquid and the surrounding solid surface. This rising is the result of two opposite forces adhesion and cohesion. Capillarity is high when adhesion is more than cohesion.
