capillary action
capillary action(capillarity) The process by which soil moisture may move in any direction through the fine (i.e. capillary) pores of the soil, under the influence of surface-tension forces between the water and individual soil particles. Soil moisture in this state is known as
capillary moisture. It exists as a film or skin of moisture on the soil particles, and may be drawn above the water-table by capillary action and into the plant roots by the process of
osmosis. ‘Capillary conductivity’ is now obsolete in US terminology.
