Answer:
Cohesion and Adhesion. The complementary action of these two forces allows water to rise in a narrow capillary tube such as the xylem tissues of plants.
Explanation:
Cohesion: the water molecules attract each other and are responsible for the surface tension of water.
Adhesion: the water molecule is also able to attract other non-water molecules. This allows water to be able to ‘cling’ to the sides of a capillary tube.
The complementary action of these two forces allows water to rise in a narrow capillary tube such as the xylem tissues of plants.
please let me know if you need a deeper/ more complex explanation, i am always happy to help :)
