Here's a breakdown:
* Aquifer: A body of rock or sediment that is permeable (allows water to flow through it) and saturated with water.
* Spongy Rock: This refers to the porous nature of the rock, meaning it has many spaces or holes that can hold water.
* Water: The water within the aquifer is called groundwater.
Aquifers are essential for providing water to humans, plants, and animals. They are a major source of drinking water and are used for irrigation, industrial processes, and other purposes.
