Solution

The correct option is D

capillary water


Capillary action is important for moving water from the soil to plants. Plants use capillary action to bring water from the soil up through capillaries, small tubes in the plants, to the rest of the plant. It is defined as the movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension.
