Flour as used with things like bread dough prevents the dough from sticking to the board it is being prepared on because it stops the moisture in the dough from making a seal with the surface it is on. Something along the lines of wetting suction cup to make it stick better. By putting dry flour under a suction cup the same would happen because no relative vacuum would be able to form.

Not only hot but also cold water makes wheat flour sticky due to the gluten hydrates. Gluten is the protein part of the flour which makes the flour functional (you call it sticky). This stickyness holds the dough together and keeps the carbon dioxide formed from the starch by yeast inside the dough during raising, leading to the spongelike structure of bread. If a dough is too sticky you just add more dry flout to it.
