What are the properties of water what contribute to water moving up and through a plant?

Two: cohesion, where water molecules are attracted to each other, and adhesion, where they are attracted to a different surface. Think of water molecules as people wanting to climb out of a well: people leading the way up are grabbing the side walls (adhesion) and also pulling other people up (cohesion).
This adhesion and cohesion are due to water molecules hydrogen-bonding with each other and with the tubes in the plant.

Where does water transport take place in a plant?
Water is transported through the plant in Xylem vessels, these begin in the roots and end in the leaves of the plant; water is translocated through a combination of "transpirational pull" and capillary action. Xylem is one of two "conductive" tissues responsible for moving water and the products of photosynthesis (glucose) through the plant, the tissue responsible for moving the "food" around is Phloem.
