Cotton balls absorb 224 milliliters of water per ball. hope this helped you!
Cotton wool shrinks in water for two main reasons. 1. Cotton (and wool, silk, etc.) swell up when they come in contact with water because they absorb water. They subsequently shrink when the water is removed from them. This is called water regain. Cotton has the fifth highest water regain (with wool having the most). 2. When agitated, such as when hand/machine washed (much more apparent in machine washing), the cotton fibres are forced together, packing more closely, which gives the overall effect of shrinking the cotton.
On average, plants use about 90-95% of the water they absorb for transpiration, which is the process of water evaporating from the plant's leaves. The remaining 5-10% is used for metabolic processes within the plant.
A single Brawny paper towel can typically absorb up to half a cup of water, depending on the thickness and size of the towel.
Leather can absorb up to 30% of its weight in water. Continued exposure to moisture can lead to discoloration, warping, and overall damage to the leather material. It's important to promptly dry and condition leather items if they become wet to prevent long-term harm.
it becomes thin and if worn and wet will be very cold
Polyester dries quicker than cotton, as the polyester fibres don't absorb as much water.

cotton does soak up a little water. It soaks up water cauzz it has litttle air holes just like the sponge...but it is not made of the same material as sponge soo it wont soak up as much as the sponge
The cotton, even though a solid, floats on water because its density is much less compared to that of water. The particles of cotton are very light in weight. However, it will be noticed that, after some time, the cotton sinks in water. This is because, the water has been absorbed by the cotton, and the particles of cotton have become heavy. Then, they cannot absorb any more. So, they completely sinks to the bottom of the water after a certain time period-By Satyam KUmar of DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL KOYLA NAGAR DHANBAD CLASS IX-A

yeah, very much
yes, if the blood cells absorb too much water, they can "lyse" or burst. therefore, drinking too much water is dangerous.
Yes. Raw marble (untreated marble) will absorb water. However this doesn't mean it will absorb so much water it will have a significantly larger mass. Treated marble that has a thin silicon layer will not absorb water.
