Answer:

Capillary Action

Step-by-step explanation:

Water molecules are attracted to the molecules in the wall of the glass container.Water molecules stick together because of polarity; a water molecule has a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. Opposite charges attract, creating a cohesive force. Water molecules are attracted to each other. Which are basically the definitions of adhesion and cohesion.
