Answer:

the attraction water molecules have to other surfaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Adhesion is defined as the attractive forces between unlike substances, e.g water moving up a capillary tube.

Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another(Wikipedia).

So, what we mean by adhesion in this context, is the attraction water molecules to other surfaces.
