Summary Introduction
To explain: The properties of water that help in the upward movement of water in a tree.
Concept introduction:
Cohesion and adhesion are the emergent properties of water molecules. Cohesion is defined as the attraction of water molecules for other water molecules. Adhesion is the property of water molecules to attract other molecules.
