"(b) Adhesive Force
Adhesive force is an inter-molecular force and it exists between the water molecule and the cell wall of the xylem vessel.
Cohesive force is an intra-molecular force and it exists between the water molecules.
Turgidity force is the force exerted by the cell vacuole against the ""cell wall"" when ""water moves"" into a ""plant cell"".
Osmotic force is the force required for solute movement through the cell wall and membrane of a plant cell against its ""concentration gradient""."
