Answer Says That :

• The phenonmenon is due to friction of light .

• A ray in the absence of light OC coming from O passes from water into air and gets refracted away from normal (along CX).

• The another ray OD gets refracted along DY from one and another.

• The two refracted rays CX and DY, when produced backwards, appear to meet at the such it meet point I.

• Thus, I is the virtual image of the end O of the stick.

• So, the stick appears to be bent as shown below.
