What two properties of water contribute to capillary action?

Adhesion and cohesion

Explanation:

Capillary action refers to the ability of water to move in small-diameter or narrow tubes against the force of gravity. Water has a tendency to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules.

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding allows the water molecules to stick together. This tendency of water molecules to stick together is called cohesion. Adhesion is the ability of the water to stick to other substances with polar or charged groups. As a consequence of cohesive and adhesive properties, water exhibits capillary action. When water moves through microscopic spaces present between the soil particles towards the roots, it is capillary action.
