Answer:

Wick as compared to wax has higher stiffness, fire-resistance, and tethering

Step-by-step explanation:

Wick as compared to wax has higher stiffness, fire-resistance, and tethering

Without a wick, wax will melt easily and the candle made of wax will not last longer.

But a candle of wax mixed with wick will have last longer as wick allows wax to stay as liquid on the top of burning candle till it vaporizes thereby increasing the life of wax
