Permeable

Real World Example

Imagine trying to pour a cup of water onto a sponge versus a plastic sheet. Just as the sponge absorbs and allows water to pass through while the plastic sheet repels it, permeable rock or soil allows water to seep through, unlike impermeable surfaces. In this analogy, the sponge represents permeable materials like certain rocks and soils that facilitate water passage, while the plastic sheet illustrates impermeable materials that block water flow.
