Question

Uses of capillary action in daily life

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The upward movement of water in plants from roots is due to capillary action. 2) when you place a straw in a glass of soda and the level of the soda in the straw is a little bit higher than that in the glass. 3) A towel gets soaked with water on account of capillary action

Answer 2

Answer:

• Capillary action helps bring water up into the roots.
• But capillary action can only "pull" water up a small distance, after which it cannot overcome gravity. To get water up to all the branches and leaves, the forces of adhesion and cohesion go to work in the plant's xylem to move water to the furthest leaf.
