What property of water allows water molecules to stick together?

The property is called cohesion, which is the attraction between water molecules due to hydrogen bonding. This cohesion allows water molecules to stick together and form hydrogen bonds, creating surface tension and other unique properties of water.

The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick together is called?

This depends. If the molecules are of different kinds (ie: Water and Glass), then it is called adhesion. If they are of the same kind, it is called cohesion.The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is known as cohesion. This is what keeps the molecules together a good example being in water.
