Absorbent paper is a type of paper designed to soak up liquids efficiently. It is commonly used in various applications, such as in laboratories for filtering, in kitchens for drying hands or surfaces, and in art for techniques like watercolor painting. The paper's structure allows it to hold moisture without tearing easily. This paper is made from cellulose fibers, which are derived from plants. The absorbent properties can vary based on the thickness and composition of the paper. Products like paper towels and blotting paper are popular examples of absorbent paper used in everyday life.
