Solution

Dear Student

Adhesion force is the force created by the attraction of different molecules to each other.
Cohesion force is the force created by the attraction of same molecules to each other.
The flow of water in xylem channel, is held together by cohesion and adhesion force and keeps the water column in the place.

Tension in transpiration pull develops a negative pressure or tension in xylem sap which is transmitted down to the root.
