This occurs where there is total interconnected porosity and the material in question is below the phreatic surface / water table.
If the material (usually a rock or soil) allows the easy flow of water (i.e. it is permeable) then it may also be known as an aquifer.
The upper surface of the zone of saturation where all the pores are filled with water is called the water table. This is the boundary between the saturated zone below and the unsaturated zone above, where the soil or rock is not fully filled with water.
The upper layer of saturated rock and soil is called the water table. It represents the boundary between the unsaturated zone above, where pores contain both air and water, and the saturated zone below, where all pores are filled with water.
The saturated zone is the area below the water table where all spaces between soil and rock particles are filled with water. It is where groundwater is found and can be accessed through wells for drinking water or irrigation.
The upper level of groundwater is typically referred to as the water table. This is the boundary between the unsaturated zone above, where water fills the pores of the soil and rock only partially, and the saturated zone below, where all available pores are filled with water.
The underground region that is mostly filled with air in the pores is known as the vadose zone. This zone lies above the water table and contains mostly unsaturated soil and rock materials. Water infiltration is slow in the vadose zone, with air occupying much of the pore space.

Water contained in pores of soil or rock is groundwater..

No, a zone of saturation forms when water fills the pires in rocks
The saturated zone is the area below the water table where all spaces between soil and rock particles are filled with water. It is where groundwater is found and can be accessed through wells for drinking water or irrigation.
Below the water table is the saturated zone, where the pores in the rock or soil are filled with water. This is where groundwater is stored and flows, providing water for wells and springs. The unsaturated zone above the water table contains both air and water in the pores.
