What are the two water properties used to move water upward in plants?
osmosis and capillary action
Is capillary action a product of adhesion?

What is the disadvantage of capillary action?
Capillary action is bad if you want to keep two liquids separate. Capillary action is difficult to control in terms of flow rate.
What has greatest capillary action?
The narrower the bore of the tube ,the greater is the capillary action. For example :A sponge retains water (on being dipped in water)is due to capillary action.
