    This document discusses porous and non-porous materials. Porous materials like sponges, wood and ceramics contain tiny holes or pores that allow water or air to pass through them. Non-porous materials like metals, glass and plastics do not contain pores so liquids and gases cannot pass through them easily. Porous materials can absorb water because their pore structures allow water to enter and be stored in the spaces between their particles or fibers.
