Answer:
The main reason behind this phenomenon is refraction. ... Water has higher refractive index than air which causes refraction. Due to the change in medium the speed of light decreases. The refraction causes difference in speed of light the stick kept in water appears to be bent or broken.

due to change in medium b/w the dipped part of the stick to our eyes , light rays get deviated
from their original path.
hence the stick appears to be bent.
