Is a sweet potato hydrophillic or hydrophobic

The sweet potato cells have a hydrophilic surface (because of the phospholipids on their cell membranes). But I don't think you can refer an object as hydrophilic or hydrophobic because an object can neither attract or repel water or oil, these stuffs usually happen in the molecular level:)

for 8 am not sure maybe yes?

for 9 if it is asking if the male is more or less it would be less

hope i even just a little : )
