Water is transported in plants through both cohesive and adhesive forces; these forces pull water and the dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion of water Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, and water molecules have strong cohesive forces thanks to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water molecules are bent so the hydrogen atoms are to one side of the oxygen atom. and when it come to molecules opposites attract. A bond forms between the negative side of one water molecule and the positive side of another. At that is what gives water its stickiness.
