pore space
The area underground where rainwater collects in the spaces between rock particles is called the "zone of saturation" or the "water table." This is where groundwater accumulates and flows through the pores and spaces in the rock or sediment.
Porosity refers to the percentage of open space between individual rock particles in a rock layer. This space can be between grains or within the cracks or cavities of the rock.
The upper level of saturated rock is called the water table. It marks the boundary between the overlying unsaturated zone (where air fills the spaces between rock or soil particles) and the saturated zone (where the rock or soil is filled with water).
Water stored in soil and rock is called groundwater. It fills the spaces between soil particles or within rock formations, forming aquifers that can be accessed through wells for drinking water and irrigation purposes.
The level below which the soil is saturated is called the water table. This is the level at which the soil and rock are saturated with water and below which the spaces between soil particles are filled with water.
its groundwater!

The upper level of saturated rock is called the water table. It marks the boundary between the overlying unsaturated zone (where air fills the spaces between rock or soil particles) and the saturated zone (where the rock or soil is filled with water).
The water stored in an aquifer is called groundwater. It is typically found underground in the small spaces between rock and soil particles.

The level below which the soil is saturated is called the water table. This is the level at which the soil and rock are saturated with water and below which the spaces between soil particles are filled with water.
The underground region in the saturated zone where all spaces between rock and soil particles are filled with water is called the groundwater zone or the phreatic zone. This is where groundwater is stored and flows through permeable materials such as rock fractures or gravel.
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
Water found underground is called groundwater. It is stored in spaces between soil and rock particles, known as aquifers, and is a vital source of drinking water for many communities.
