Surface tension causes the water droplets on leaves to clump up and form
the smallest surface possible. The water molecules at the surface are
pulled in by the cohesive force between themselves and molecules inside the droplet.
The water keeps its droplet shape because there are no water molecules outside
the surface to balance this inward pull.
