Oh yes!

Most caves in limestone (most caves in fact) are formed by water and very many still hold the streams that are in fact still developing them. Such caves are called "active".

Some are completely full of water and explorable only by specialised cave-divers.

Caves or cave passages that have lost their formative streams are called "fossil" or "abandoned", but even in these water drips in from the rock's joints through which it percolates.
