Capillary action

Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be telling you about capillary action and some plant biology. Capillary action in water includes water moving up a straw or glass tube, moving through a paper or cloth towel, moving through a plant, and tears moving through tear ducts.

Capillary action is important for moving water around. It is the movement of water in and out of your cellular structure that deposits vitamins, nutrients, and vital blood plasma. Without this flow, your body's cells would not rehydrate and vital communication between your brain and body would slow down.
Cohesion is what causes the water drops on a plant to go into a certain formation and adhesion is the thing that lets the water drops stick to the plant. Without adhesion, the water drops would just drop off the plant. AN example of cohesion in human form is when you go rock climbing and you put chalk on your hands to help you stick more to the rocks than you would without it
