Hydrophobic participles are "running" away from water. Try pouring some oil into a glass of water and you will see what I mean. Hydrophillic participles, on the other hand, attract water and soon a hydrophillic participle will be completely surrounded by water molecules, Which is a fancy way of saying that it'll dissolve.
