An aquifer forms when groundwater pools between a permeable layer and an impermeable layer.
This type of layer is found within the earth and is called an Aquifer.
You can dig a simple well to reach groundwater. You can dig really deep to find an aquifer, a permeable rock layer that holds underground water.

aquifer
An aquifer is a layer of permeable rock that contains water. It usually conducts groundwater and supplies the water for wells and springs.
It is called an aquifer.
permeability
The permeable rock bearing the groundwater is an aquifer. If the impermeable rock layer at it's base (known as an aquiclude) is of limited lateral extent such that the groundwater level away from this area is much lower, then it may be known as a perched water table. Please see the related link for more information.

Impermiable rock means nothing can go through it
A fully permeable layer is a layer that allows all substances to pass through. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane that only allows some substances to infiltrate.
It is not a specific layer. Rocks have a certain degree of porosity (especially sedimentary rocks), which means spaces between the mineral grains from which they are made. When these spaces are interconnected the rock is said to be permeable. Rocks made out of ine grained clay particles have little porosity and are impermeable, conversely sandstones are usually highly porous and very permeable. The spaces in the rocks are usually filled with groundwater but may also be filled with oil or natural gas. Groundwater saturates rocks at a depth called the water table and the surface of this table follows the contours of the topography. When you dig a well you dig down into and past the water table. An aquifer comprises porous and permeable rocks below the water table from which large amounts of groundwater can be extracted.
