    Adhesion and Cohesion of water

    Explanation:

    The yellow poplar or tulip tree is one of the tallest trees of the Eastern hardwood.

    Irrespective of the height of the tree, the leaves present at the top of water receive the water from the ground by the absorption of the water from the ground.

    The property of the water that allows the water to flow from the roots to leaves is that the water possesses the force of attraction between two water molecules, a property of water called cohesion and force of attraction between water and other substances called adhesion.

    The cohesion allows the movement of water to the top and adhesion allows the transport of water through the xylem.

    Thus, Adhesion and Cohesion of water is the correct answer.
