abiotic and biotic factors

Explanation:

According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection can be defined as the mechanism by which evolution occurs (i.e., the mechanism by which species change over time). An organism´s environment is comprised of abiotic (e.g., temperature, light, water, etc) and biotic (e.g., microbes, food availability, etc) factors. Adaptations refer to the phenotypic traits that increase the chance of survival and reproduction of an organism in its environment. Organisms better adapted to their environment are selected by natural selection to reproduce and thus perpetuate their genes across generations.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
