A salt that absorbs water is known as a hygroscopic salt. These salts have a strong affinity for moisture, allowing them to attract and hold water vapor from the surrounding environment. Common examples include sodium chloride (table salt) and magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt). Such properties make hygroscopic salts useful in various applications, including drying agents and preservation methods.
