I have never heard a specific noun for it but but the adjectives hydrated, saturated, or water-bearing could apply. Many minerals will adsorb water directly into their molecular crystalline structure, they are called "hydrated" minerals. If the water is simply soaked into pores in the rock like wet sand then we say it is saturated or water bearing.

How is sandstone made?
Sand is essentially the result of finely weathered and eroded rock. Harder minerals (such as quartz for example) are found in larger amounts in sand due to their hardness and structure that prevents them from weathering at as fast a rate as minerals with a weaker structureless hardness. The term sand is used to describe the diameter of the individual sand granules. Sand is larger in diameter than silt but smaller than gravel.

What is sand and gravel our zoning allows sand and gravel Would this allow crushing of loose bedrock to become such?
You're talking about driveways, right? As in your zoning says you can have either a concrete drive, an asphalt one or a sand & gravel one? Gravel is crushed rock, and they say "sand and gravel" because gravel almost always has sand in it. Crushed loose bedrock would be fine.
How is ground water stored?
Groundwater is stored in the tiny open spaces between rock and sand, soil, and gravel. How well loosely arranged rock (such as sand and gravel) holds water depends on the size of the rock particles.
