Adhesive property of water allows water to stick to non-water molecules.
This kind of adhesive property is important for:
1. In plants – Water moves against gravity due to its adhesive property and allows transport of water from the roots to the shoots and leaves.
2. In animals – Adhesion occurs in the capillary action in the bloodstream, where the blood is allowed to move through the tiny vessels in the animal and human bodies.
