Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion: Water is attracted to water, and Adhesion: Water is attracted to other substances.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The tendency for water molecules to stick or cling to another surface is called adhesion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cohesion between the water molecules in the xylem vessel is complemented by the adhesion of water to xylem walls. The stickiness of the hydrogen bonds in water also helps it stick, or adhere, very tightly to the cell walls of xylem vessels. This property of water is called adhesion.
