It is absorbent.
We use non absorbent cotton for plugging of test tubes or other glassware. If we would use absorbent cotton then during sterilization (autoclaving) sterile conditions will not be maintained as cotton will absorb water and microbes will swim from outside to inside. However, non absorbent cotton does not get wet and chances of contamination are decreased significantly.
Sponge and cotton are absorbent.
Cotton is a very absorbent cloth.
Cotton wool is raw cotton with major impurities removed, usually used for surgical dressings, tampons and so forth -- highly absorbent cotton.
Absorbent objects are materials that can soak up liquids or moisture. Common examples include sponges, towels, and cotton fabrics, which have porous structures that allow them to hold water. Other examples include absorbent pads used in medical settings, diapers, and certain types of paper, such as blotting paper. These materials are often utilized for cleaning, hygiene, and various industrial applications.
Because cotton is more absorbent. i.e. Nylon is less absorbent than cotton so is more water-resistant.
Cotton is not water resistant.
Cotton wool -- absorbent cotton -- absorbs water, and would not shrink.
The Textile Modal is a form of Rayon, made from reconstituted Cellulose. It is more water absorbent than cotton and is more resistant to shrinkage and fading.
No.
is wool more absorbent than cotton

Yes cotton is extremely absorbent because it is soft and fluffy
To make cotton more absorbent, you can soak it in a solution of water and vinegar or water and baking soda, then wash it with a mild detergent. This will help remove any residual oils or waxes that can inhibit absorbency. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat when washing and drying cotton, as they can reduce absorbency.
Cotton absorbs liquid -- one of its known characteristics.
Cotton is porous in nature. Pure cotton is best absorbent of liquides.
Silk tends to stain more easily than cotton due to its delicate and absorbent nature. Cotton, on the other hand, is more stain-resistant and easier to clean compared to silk.
