Paper towels are able to absorb because they are pourous, which means that they have many tiny holes and gaps. These holes and gaps are able to suck up the water due to capillary action. Each little space in the surface of the paper towel has its own tiny bubble of surface tension, or capillary action. These bubbles are formed when the towel comes into contact with liquid because the liquid in each tiny space is kept separate from the liquid in other pores and pockets. This allows the bubbles of liquid to be held in place and even sucked upward because each pocket contains so little water that the intermolecular attraction is stronger than the gravitational pull on the liquid.

My cotton towels don't absorb water how can I fix that?
Towels absorb water because the threading on the towel is very porous. Water "likes" to "hug" porous surfaces. But when the porous surface is already occupied with water, no more can be absorbed. Your problem with the non absorbing towel can also come from a dirty towel with an ingredient absorbed into the fibers that repels water, like wax or oil. Try cleaning the towel with alcohol or any substance that can break down lipids.
