That's called an "aquifer" if it's naturally-occurring. But a "cistern" is a man-made with a waterproof lining. If it's a really big cistern, it's a "covered reservoir".

Where is precipitation stored between or within the rocks?
Yes. It will depend on the type of rock. For a porous rock,such as sandstone or shale, the water can be within the rocks. For non-porous rocks it will be stored between the rocks.
How does water go through underground soil and water?
Gravity causes water to flow downwards. In porous ground the water will seep into the soil. If the water hits a non-porous layer (clay, for instance) the water will spread horizontally.
