Mud does absorb water.
Cork can absorb water.
igneous rocks do absorb water because of all the pores ,cracks, and holes in them. The holes will absorb the water and the water will get trapped in the rock there for igneous rocks do absorb water.
Concrete is a composite construction material, composed of cement (commonly Portland cement) and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, aggregate (generally a coarse aggregate made of gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, plus a fine aggregate such as sand), water and chemical admixtures.

1:1.5:3:0.45 (cement,fine aggregate,coarse aggregate, water cement ratio)
No, it is differentCement is a constituent of concrete.Where as concrete is a mixture of cement, fineaggregate, coarse aggregate and water.
because sandy soil can absorb water only at a limit
Raw materials that are a component in concrete, aggregates are inert granular materials such as sand, gravel or crushed stone. Coarse aggregates are particles greater than 4.75mm, but they generally range between 9.5mm to 37.5mm in diameter. Primary coarse aggregates come from the land or water. Secondary aggregates are the by-products of extractive operations. The third source coarse aggregates come from is recycled aggregate, which is sand, and recycled concrete aggregate.
Concrete is made from cement and other materials such as fly ash and slag, coarse aggregate made of crushed stone, fine aggregate such as sand and water. The aggregates are used to form the paste, while the sand or cement keeps it from wearing out easily, and the water to make it easy to smooth out.

Yes - huge quantities - ground into a coarse powder or just the particles from between the fibres it is coir potting compost

the amount of water soaked by raisins increases with increase in time up to its maximum limit.. and it will absorb more water in more temperature.. I mean if we take 10 gm of raisins in icy water and same amount in normal water then we can observe that in normal water raisins absorb more water..
Choose the grade of concrete & assume minimum water/cement ratio.Conduct some initial tests on the materials like cement, sand & metal(coarse aggregate).Tests like UNIT WEGHT, SPECIFIC GRAVITY,SIEVE ANALYSIS,SLUMP CONE TEST & COMPACTION FACTOR TEST. According to the obtained results do the mix design from IS CODE of IS800-10262 check for water cement ratio & calculate the quantity of cement, sand & coarse aggregate.
The Gravel will absorb the water until it can absorb anymore.
