What is the term of layer of rock trapping water underground?
The term for a layer of rock that traps water underground is called an "aquiclude." Aquicludes are typically impermeable or have very low permeability, preventing water from passing through easily. They often sit above or below an aquifer, which is the layer that can store and transmit groundwater. Together, these layers play a crucial role in groundwater management and hydrology.
What causes the water in an artesian well to spout upwards?
The term artesian means that the water is contained in an underground aquifer and/or reservoir. The fact that it is spouting means that it has artesian pressure and is a flowingartesian well. The geology of the site determines the amount of pressure on the reservoir and not all artesian wells have enough, or any pressure to spout. The pressure comes from the weight of ground structures and ground water pressing on and around the underground reservoir.

Why do we say 'groundwater' not 'underground water' although both carry the same meaning?
They do not mean the same thing. Ground water occurs naturally beneath the Earth's surface, between the saturated soil and the rock. Underground water may be ground water, or it may be in man-made pipes laid underground.
