Percolates is a verb that means: To filter gradually through a porous surface or substance (of a liquid or gas). To be prepared in a percolator (coffee).
Percolation is the process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter. It is like making coffee. The coffee gets strained through a filter.
You could say 'Filter paper is known as porous paper.'

The process of passing liquid through a porous filter is called filtration. This method is used to separate solid particles from liquid by trapping them in the filter while allowing the liquid to pass through.
They work in a similar way to the filter paper in a coffee machine. They are porous enough to allow liquid and blood cells to pass through, but not enough to allow larger particles of waste back into the bloodstream.
It is not advised to keep coffee in the freezer because it is porous and can absorb other flavors from other foods in the freezer.
The process is called filtration. It involves passing a mixture through a porous material, like filter paper or a filter membrane. The dissolved substances are trapped on the filter, while the solvent passes through.
Sand can be used in a filter that is made up of a box, with an "in" and an "out" pipe connected to it. Inside the box, there could be 2 bits of filter paper, similar to that found in a coffee maker (to stop the sand escaping), one covering each pipe. The sand would be between these 2 filters and, due to the porous properties of sand, and the fact that it lets very little solid particles through, it would filter the water to some degree, however, carbon is more commonly used, as it can filter out much smaller particles.
A sponge is a porous aquatic animal that can absorb and filter water, while a rock is a solid mineral material formed naturally. Sponges are living organisms, while rocks are inanimate objects. Additionally, sponges have a soft and flexible texture, while rocks are hard and rigid.
Filtration is the process that squeezes fluids from between individual grains by passing the mixture through a porous material such as a filter paper or sand bed. The porous material acts as a barrier, allowing the fluids to pass through while trapping the solid particles.
A substance just soft enough or porous enough for a liquid to filter through
