Answer:
This is an example of water´s capillarity property
Explanation:
The capillary tube is like a hair, that means has a small diameter. Water can move up through the capillary tube it opposite to gravity force. The capillarity happens because water cohesion forces (intramolecular) are higher than the water adhesive forces (between water and glass surfaces). Water will continue to move into the tube until those forces are in equilibrium.

Answer:
Cohesive property of water molecules
Explanation:
Water molecules are cohesive dues to their ability to form hydrogen bond with one another and as a result, water molecules are attracted to each other.
In addition to the cohesive force of water molecules, there exist an attractive force between the molecules of water and the wall of a thin glass tube and these make water to rise in the tube.
