| capillary action |
The depression or elevation of the meniscus of a liquid contained in a tube of small diameter due to the combined effects of gravity, surface tension, and the forces of cohesion and adhesion. When the liquid wets the walls of a container, the meniscus is shaped convex downward; if the liquid does not wet the walls of the container, the meniscus is shaped convex upward.

Through the adhesive forces (sticky property) of water, water is able to move through tiny spaces. With the help of capillary action, water can seemingly defy gravity and move upwards through a tree to its topmost branches.
