Permeability
A rock that can soak up water is called a porous rock. These rocks have tiny holes or spaces that allow water to be absorbed and held within them.
Gritstone is porous because it is composed of compacted sand grains that have tiny spaces between them. These spaces allow water to seep into the rock, making it porous and allowing for the rock to absorb water.
This type of rock is called pumice. Pumice is formed from volcanic eruptions, where the rapid cooling of lava traps gas bubbles inside the rock, creating its lightweight and porous structure.
Groundwater is stored in the tiny open spaces between rock and sand, soil, and gravel. How well loosely arranged rock (such as sand and gravel) holds water depends on the size of the rock particles.
a rock that is full of tiny, connected air spaces is PERMEABLE

You are probably thinking of pumice, and igneous rock.

It is because the rock is full of tiny air spaces that allow water to seep through it, so as the water seeps through the spaces it dissolves and removes material broken down by weathering. If you are doing this for a school science question, that's what textbooks are for. If not, then I can tell you are a person who enjoys to read and is a scientist.
