When energy is said to be absorbed, it is merely converted from one form to another as energy cannot be created, nor destroyed. Eg. in a traffic collision kinetic (movement) energy is converted into sound and heat energy.
Absorption is necessary for energy storage
Absorption
The heat Sand absorbs from the Sun's rays is an example of energy absorption
This process is called energy absorption.
Absorption is the reduction of intensity of any form of radiated energy as a result of energy conversion in a medium.

Thermal energy absorption
An absorption factor is the measurement of a specific substance's ability to absorb radiant energy.
