Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Percolation is the asset of absorption of water via means of soil. For example, if we pour a bottle of water at the ground and any other bottle of water into the soil, the water at the ground will glide down however, water within the soil can be absorbed. The rate of percolation is the quantity of water absorbed by means of any soil at any given time.
The capacity of soil to maintain water is referred to as water retention. The area among soil particles referred to as pores offers the passage for gases and moisture within the soil. The capacity of soil to hold water is strongly associated with particle size.
