It depends on the type of rock, in particular their porosity (which is the proportion of their total volume which is made up of void space) and also the inter-connectivity of the pore spaces (the permeability of the rock).
For example the porosity of sandstones can be very variable, anywhere between 5 and 30 % so potentially a 1m3 mass of sandstone with a porosity of 30% may be able to absorb as much as 300 litres of water.
it absorbs water
Sandstone is a type of rock that can absorb and retain water within its pores and crevices.
The type of weathering that occurs when rock is broken down as it absorbs water is known as hydration weathering. This process involves the absorption of water into the rock structure, causing it to weaken and break apart over time.
Hydration
Hydration weathering occurs when rock absorbs water, causing it to expand and break apart. This process is common in areas with frequent cycles of wetting and drying.

Rock because it absorbs heat faster more density!! Your welcome my public!!:D
Chemical weathering occurs when rock is broken down by chemical reactions as it absorbs water or other substances. These reactions can alter the minerals within the rock and cause it to physically weaken and disintegrate.
