Answer 2

Water has the property of adhesion and cohesion that allows plants to transfer water from their roots to their leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

Adhesion is the property of a substance to get attracted to other substances. Such as water gets attracted to glass.

Cohesion is a property by virtue of which particles of a substance gets attracted to each other. Such as water gets attracted to itself.

Due to the property of cohesion and adhesion water is able to move from the roots of plant to their leaves. This capillary action allows water to carry different substances dissolved in it to different parts of the plant.
