B. Water travels through vascular tissue from the roots to the leaves of a plant, moving against the force of gravity.

Adhesion refers to the attraction of water molecules to other molecules other than itself. This is opposed to cohesion (water to water molecules attraction). Adhesion and cohesion are the two properties of water that makes it possible for plants to pull water from the soil.

Roots absorb water from the soil via the root hairs. These water molecules ADHERE to the surfaces of vascular tissue called XYLEM and are transported from the roots to the leaves of a plant, moving against the force of gravity. This process occurs due to the ADHESIVE PROPERTY OF WATER.

Therefore, the ADHESIVE PROPERTY of water allows it to travel through vascular tissue (xylem) from the roots to the leaves of a plant.
