Why does sand absorb more water than soil?
AnswerGenerally NO, as sand is not absorbent. Being ground up rock, sand can only capture water by adsorbtion [by surface tension] within in the interstices [spaces] between the grains. Soil on the other hand not only can capture some water by adsorbtion in the interstices, but because soil contains organic [plant] matter which can absorb water, soil can thus "hold" more water. AS far as I know and I'm no expert by any means, sand would not absorb water as much as soil in general. However this would largely depend on WHAT KIND OF SOIL. Clay based, sandy , loam, etc. Near to where I live there is about 6 meters of sand below us. Under that a natural water course runs. The water is very pure and can be consumed by humans directly from the ground should you pump it to the surface. After it rains the water seeps through the sand and is filtered by it. I assume this means that the sand will not absorb the water. This however could simply be because the sand itself is already saturated with water and can not absorb any more.AnswerThere are many types of sand, but for the most part, sand absorbs very little water compared to many other things found in soil. Clay can absorb a great deal more water than sand, and so can other organic materials in the soil. This is why sand is frequently used on the bottom of landscape beds for drainage. and is used in high rate sand filters for swimming pools. It is helpful, however, to be very specific about what you are comparing. For example, silicone based sand versus mulch soils that one can buy at the store. In this way, we can be certain to rule out any possible exceptions such as some types of gravel, that might be considered sand by some definitions, which have been developed for the express purpose of absorbing water. For the most part, however, it is safe to say that soil will absorb more water than sand.

Why is sand wet?
Yes sand will absorb a small quantity of water. It is extremely small compared to the other soil particles (silt and clay). You can look for the Water Retention Curve for the specifics of the amounts of water that can be held by sand.
