Q

how is cohesion and adhesion related to plants

A

adhesion is clinginess of different substances while cohesion is the sticking of the same substance. both are important for plant survival as they help water move up the roots to leaves with no energy
adhesion causes capillary actions while cohesion causes surface tension
