newtonian mechanics - Why do water molecule apply more pressure (i.e., more force) at depth?


We know that in a fluid the molecules are continuously bumping into the object (here a cylinder) placed in it. But why does it happen so that the molecules at the bottom are applying more force than that from the up? That is to say what is the molecular picture of fluid pressure at different depth?
