Rock becomes saturated when its pore spaces are filled with water. Once filled, the rock is considered to be at its maximum capacity for holding water and is considered saturated. This typically occurs when the rock is completely immersed in water or when all available pore spaces have been occupied by water.
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid
The upper level of a saturated rock is called the water table. This is the boundary between the unsaturated zone above and the saturated zone below, where all the pores and fractures in the rock are filled with water.
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
No, a water table is the boundary between the unsaturated zone (where pore spaces in the soil or rock contain both air and water) and the saturated zone (where all pore spaces are filled with water). It does not specifically separate bedrock layers but marks the transition where the ground is fully saturated with water.

The rock is porous.
The upper level of saturated rock is called the water table. It marks the boundary between the overlying unsaturated zone (where air fills the spaces between rock or soil particles) and the saturated zone (where the rock or soil is filled with water).

the zone in rock layers where all the pores are filled with water
The upper layer of saturated rock and soil is called the water table. It represents the boundary between the unsaturated zone above, where pores contain both air and water, and the saturated zone below, where all pores are filled with water.
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
