What happens when you put a porous rock into water?

When a porous rock is placed in water, the water can seep into the small spaces and pores within the rock. This process, known as water absorption, can increase the rock's weight and may lead to changes in its appearance. Depending on the rock type and its porosity, it may also influence the surrounding water's clarity and mineral content. Over time, if the rock remains submerged, biological growth or sediment accumulation may occur on its surface.
