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.

Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
Capillary rise in plants helps in the transportation of water from roots to leaves. In insects, capillary action assists in the movement of liquids through small channels like tracheae and tracheoles. In sea sponges, capillary action helps in filtering and absorbing nutrients from water.
capillary action
Physical.
Capillary action will pull water up the stem to the flower and into the petals.
The adhesive intermolecular forces between the substance rising (the one experiencing capillary action) and the container (typically a capillary).
A paper towel absorbing liquid is an example of capillary action.

capillary action i a liquid
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
Water is transferred from the roots to the leaves through the stem by capillary action.
adhesion. adhesion.
yujio
Yes, capillary action is a result of both adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion is the attraction between the liquid molecules and the surface of the container, while cohesion is the attraction between liquid molecules themselves. Capillary action occurs when the adhesive forces between the liquid and the container surface are stronger than the cohesive forces within the liquid.
Capillary action is also essential for the drainage of constantly produced tear fluid from the eye. Paper towels absorb liquid through capillary action. Chemists utilize capillary action in thin layer chromatography, in which a solvent moves vertically up a plate via capillary action. Dissolved solutes travel with the solvent at various speeds depending on their polarity. With some pairs of materials, such as mercury and glass, the interatomic forces within the liquid exceed those between the solid and the liquid, so a convex meniscus forms and capillary action works in reverse.
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
