Which describes a property of water that allows plants to transfer it from their roots to their leaves?

These strong attractions help water rise through narrow tubes by capillary action, aiding its movement from roots to leaves. Therefore, the correct choice is “Water exhibits strong adhesion and cohesion, which allows capillary action to occur.”
