Groundwater.

Groundwater is water that collects beneath the Earth's surface in soil and rocks. It plays a crucial role in the water cycle by slowly moving through the ground, eventually reaching rivers, lakes, or oceans through discharge points like springs or seeps. Groundwater is an important source of drinking water and supports ecosystems by keeping streams flowing during dry periods.
About seven tenths if 71.1% of the earths surface is underwater and wow I am surprised nobody figured that out and answered this
Yes. Or in the air, or under water, or very near the surface.
Surprisingly little. Water covers a little under three-quarters of Earth's surface, but it's almost all on (or just below) the surface, so a relatively tiny fraction of Earth is water.
Water that seeps into the ground is called groundwater. It is stored in the pores and cracks of rocks and soil beneath the Earth's surface. Groundwater can be a vital source of drinking water and supports ecosystems by maintaining streamflow and wetlands.
Water that seeps into the soil is called groundwater. It fills the spaces between soil particles and rocks beneath the Earth's surface. This water is essential for plant roots to absorb nutrients and for maintaining underground water levels.
Surface water collects in a watershed and seeps into ground
Well, 71% of Earth is covered by water, which is more than half, so, yes, most of Earth's surface is under water.

Springs with hot water, also known as hot springs, occur when geothermally heated water rises to the surface through cracks in the Earth's crust. This happens when groundwater seeps into the Earth's crust, is heated by magma, and then returns to the surface as hot water.
Groundwater becomes surface water when it emerges from the ground and flows above the Earth's surface, such as in streams, rivers, lakes, or wetlands. This can occur through natural processes like springs or seeps, or through human activities such as pumping from wells.

It is the surface of the earth, except it is under water instead of under air.
Most of the earths surface is covered with water. There is land under that water though, below the surface.
This is known as groundwater.
