Detailed explanation-1: -Materials with a special affinity for water-those it spreads across, maximizing contact-are known as hydrophilic. Those that naturally repel water, causing droplets to form, are known as hydrophobic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Describing something as hydrophilic means that it tends to be attracted to water or that it tends to easily dissolve in, mix with, absorb, or be saturated by water.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hydrophilic molecule or substance is attracted to water. Water is a polar molecule that acts as a solvent, dissolving other polar and hydrophilic substances. In biology, many substances are hydrophilic, which allows them to be dispersed throughout a cell or organism.
