Water molecules want to stick together. This tendency for molecules to stick together is called cohesion. When cohesion is dominant in fluids, tension builds up on their surfaces. Detergent reduces the surface tension of water. Therefore, the peppercorns react by disrupting the surface membrane. You can watch more detailed explanations in our tutorial on the channel.
If you have other ideas, let's discuss them in the comments.
