Step-by-step explanation:
Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.
Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass. Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.
These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.
Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.
