Detailed explanation-1: -Water has an amazing ability to adhere (stick) to itself and to other substances. The property of cohesion describes the ability of water molecules to be attracted to other water molecules, which allows water to be a “sticky” liquid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water has cohesive and adhesive properties. Cohesive forces are responsible for surface tension, the tendency of a liquid’s surface to resist rupture when placed under tension or stress. Water also has adhesive properties that allow it to stick to substances other than itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cohesion and adhesion are two water properties that describe how water molecules interact with each other. and how water molecules interact with other things like leaves or even you. Cohesion means that water likes to stick to itself. and adhesion means that water likes to stick to other things.
