The soil under the zone of saturation.
Bedrock is typically impermeable, meaning water and other fluids cannot easily pass through it. However, some types of bedrock, like fractured or weathered bedrock, may have some degree of permeability allowing for the movement of fluids.
Impermeable Rock
The type of bedrock can affect groundwater by influencing its movement, storage, and quality. Permeable bedrock allows water to flow more easily, while impermeable bedrock can create barriers to groundwater flow. The composition of the bedrock can also impact the quality of the groundwater by determining the presence of certain minerals or contaminants that can be dissolved and transported in the water.
Aquifers form above permeable soil, such as sand or gravel, that allows water to flow easily. Impermeable soils like clay or bedrock will prevent the formation of aquifers.
A perched water table is a localized zone of saturation above the main water table within the soil profile. It typically forms in areas where impermeable layers, such as clay or bedrock, restrict downward movement of water. This leads to the accumulation of water above the impermeable layer, creating a perched water table.

Resurgent Stream arise when the limestone is underlain by an impermeable rock, such as clay. this forces the water out into the open, forming a spring or resurgent stream.
The name of the town in Flintstones is Bedrock.

Impermeable layers, such as clay or bedrock, can prevent water from passing through them. These layers act as barriers that trap water above them, causing it to collect and potentially form groundwater reservoirs.
an impermeable membrane
Impermeable means that stuff can't go through it. Wax is impermeable to water. Paper towels are not. Glass is impermeable to air. Mesh cloth is not. Some things are impermeable to one thing but not another. Clear plastic is impermeable to water and air, but not light. Lead metal is impermeable to x-rays, but not heat. Which layer is impermeable depends on what it is impermeable to.
Un impermeable is a raincoat.
Yes, plastic wrap is impermeable.
