impermeable
When groundwater pools between a permeable layer and an impermeable layer, an aquifer is formed. This confined aquifer can store water under pressure, creating a resource that can be tapped for drinking water and irrigation. The impermeable layer prevents water from escaping, allowing the aquifer to maintain its water levels.

Yes, an aquifer is a permeable rock layer that can hold and transmit water underground. It typically consists of materials such as sand, gravel, or rock that can store and allow the flow of water through them.
It is semi-permeable to water, in which water can pass it through the double lipid layer or through proteins crossing the double layer of the cell membrane.
This would be an aquifer. The rock itself would be described as being permeable or having a high hydraulic conductivity.
An Aquifer.
An aquifer is a layer of permeable rock that contains water. It usually conducts groundwater and supplies the water for wells and springs.
A fully permeable layer is a layer that allows all substances to pass through. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane that only allows some substances to infiltrate.
The water sinks through the ground through permeable rock and is concentrating when it arrives to impermeable rock. When due to erosion the impermeable rock carrying water is exposed, the water appears as a spring.

An aquifer is a layer of permeable rock that allows water to flow freely. It acts as a natural underground reservoir that stores and transmits groundwater. Aquifers are important sources of freshwater for wells and springs.

The permeable rock bearing the groundwater is an aquifer. If the impermeable rock layer at it's base (known as an aquiclude) is of limited lateral extent such that the groundwater level away from this area is much lower, then it may be known as a perched water table.
