The water table or phreatic surface.
Water Table
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
The water table sits on top of the soil zone.
Something is saturated when every available space is filled with liquid, and something is unsaturated when some or all of the spaces inside the contain air.
a. at the top of the zone of saturation
According to the Wikipedia article on Water Table as of this writing, the zone of intermittent saturation is a range of depth in which the ground is intermittently saturated with water. In some places, the water table raises in the winter, and falls in the summer. The zone between the winter height and the summer height is the zone of intermittent saturation. Sometimes wet. Sometimes dry.
The top saturated zone is called the water table.

The water table sits on top of the soil zone.
Gaining or effluent streams receive water from the saturated zone.
why would water stop soaking into the ground in the saturated zone
Groundwater is found in a saturated zone, meaning that since there is so much water in the soil, theres just water.
the zone in rock layers where all the pores are filled with water
the zone in rock layers where all the pores are filled with water
Both layers contain water.
The two zones of groundwater are the saturated zone and unsaturated zone.The saturated zone is filled with water and is below the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone has water and air in its pores (tiny open spaces in the soil).
