The layers of plastic bags stick together primarily due to the properties of the plastic material, particularly low-density polyethylene (LDPE) commonly used in bags. When the bags are pressed together, the heat and pressure can cause the surfaces to soften slightly, leading to adhesion. Additionally, the presence of static electricity can also contribute to the sticking. This adhesion can make it difficult to separate the layers without tearing.
