Answer: Adhesion

When a blood vessel ruptured, it will expose the collagen fiber into platelet. Platelet can adhere to the collagen fibers. This step is called adhesion.

After a while, it will be activated and slowly accumulate making a clot. This clot will slow the blood flow and might become a plug.
