Cotton is generally more absorbent than a sponge because of its natural fibers' structure. Cotton fibers have a larger surface area and greater capacity to hold liquid compared to the porous structure of a sponge. Additionally, cotton can absorb and retain more liquid before reaching saturation, making it a more efficient absorbent material overall.
