Because of gravity, water and most liquids seek their own level. This means that if left side by side, gravity would not be able to move the water in any direction. But if you were to move one container lower than the other then water could move in the direction of the lower level container through a tube or pipe that was attached to the bottom of the higher container. But if the tube used to move the water had to be raised higher than the upper container, suction would get the water moving in the direction of the lower container and then gravity would take over and the water would continue to move without further suction. A siphon doesn't "defy" gravity to work, but uses gravity to perform the siphoning action.
