"Capillary" refers to the smallest blood vessels in the body that connect arterioles and venules, facilitating the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between blood and tissues. The term can also describe a type of action or movement, such as capillary action in liquids, where liquid rises or falls in narrow spaces due to surface tension. In a broader context, it can also refer to anything resembling the fine, hair-like structure of capillaries.

How does a candle's flame work?

Heat from the flame melts the wax in the wick. As the melted wax vapourises, and is burnt, it is replaced by more melted wax travelling up the wick by capilliary action. As long as the flame remains, the process simply continues.
