When water is able to enter rocks, it is because they are permeable. Permeable rocks either have spaces (pores - porous rocks, e.g. sandstone), or paths through their structure (pervious rocks, e.g. limestone). These features can only be found in sedimentary/clastic rocks. Clastic means that it is made up of small particles cemented together, which gives it a grainy texture.
Metamorphic and igneous rocks are crystalline, which mades them impermeable because the crystals interlock, blocking a flow of water.

Do rocks absorb oxygen?
No, rocks do not absorb oxygen. Rocks are composed of minerals and do not have the ability to undergo the chemical process of absorbing oxygen.
Does igneous rocks 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.
What are some examples of rocks that absorb odors?
Some examples of rocks that absorb odors include activated charcoal, zeolite, and lava rocks. These rocks have porous surfaces that can trap and neutralize odors in the air.
