Answer:
The answers would be adhesion, cohesion and capillarity.
Explanation:
Adhesion forces allow the water molecules to adhere to any surface, with bigger or lower strength, depending on the nature of it (polar or non-polar). Cohesion forces allow the molecules to keep bound between themselves. Finally, the most gravity-defying force could be the capillarity, which allows the water to flow upwards in tiny tubes, like the xylem, also involving the two forces previously mentioned.
