Friction is a force that opposes motion of any MOVING object but water resistance is the that force opposing any object moving in water.

Water resistance is only present in water, Friction occurs mostly in solid motions on land or on another solid

They are opposing forces. Water resistance can be considered as a type of friction in water

Stickiness vs Friction

Adhesiveness is the measure of how much one type of substance "sticks" to a different kind of substance. i.e., tape has a higher adhesiveness than paper.

Viscosity is how "thick" a substance is. i.e., honey has a higher viscosity than water.
