Answer:

phobic means fear (in this case : hate)

philic means love

therefore , hydrophobic means water haters and hydrophilic means water lovers.

generally lipids are hydrophobic and proteins are hydrophilic.

in plasma membrane hydrophobic substances are easily diffused and hydrophilic substances are diffused by facilitated diffusion and done by channel proteins present in plasma membrane.
