Detailed explanation-1: -Cohesion: Water is attracted to water, and Adhesion: Water is attracted to other substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion of water Have you ever filled a glass of water to the very top and then slowly added a few more drops? Before it overflows, the water forms a dome-like shape above the rim of the glass. This dome-like shape forms due to the water molecules’ cohesive properties, or their tendency to stick to one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -In cohesion, water molecules are attracted to each other (because of hydrogen bonding), keeping the molecules together at the liquid-gas (water-air) interface, although there is no more room in the glass.

Detailed explanation-4: -For plants, adhesion allows for the water to stick to the organic tissues of plants. Cohesion keeps molecules of the same substance together. For plants, cohesion keeps the water molecules together.
