Water is very cohesive. This allows water to be pulled along a pathway with relative ease. The measure of how hard it is to break this interface is its surface tension. The sticking of one substance to another.
Water is a good adhesive.
It will cling on to many objects and act as a glue. Action is an example of cohesion and adhesion working together to move water up a thin tube. The process of soaking into a hydrophilic substance. Water being taken into a sponge, into a seed, into paper towels. Heat and temperature are not the same thing.
