Soil absorbency refers to the rate at which a particular soil takes in water. Different soils have different soil absorbencies.
There are various types of soil. These include sandy, loamy, as well as clay. The squeeze test is often used to identify the soil type. There are hundreds of thousands of different soil types. The USDA recognizes 12 different soil textures, which is often what people mean when they say "soil type." Soil textures are different mixtures of sand, silt and clay.
