Answer;

-Cohesion

Explanation;

-Cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water. Since water is attracted to other molecules, adhesive forces pull the water toward other molecules.

-It is important in plants when water gets pulled up from the roots because cohesion allows the water molecules to stick together.

-Additionally; Water bugs can "walk" on water due to cohesion of the water molecules.
