GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This upward motion against gravity, known as capillary action, depends on the attraction between water molecules and the glass walls of the tube (adhesion), as well as on interactions between water molecules (cohesion).

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants use capillary action to bring water up the roots and stems to the rest of the plant. The molecules of the water (the liquid) are attracted to the molecules of the inside of the stem (the solid). This attraction is used to help force the water up from the ground and disperse it throughout the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, capillary actions works when placing a thin or narrow straw into a cup of water, we can see the water goes into the straw; the level the water reaches in the narrow straw is higher than the surrounding water in the cup.
