Hydrogels are systems in a colloidal state with a solid appearance, one of the properties of the hydrogels is to swell and increase in volume by absorption of water and dissolved substances, property common to all tissues of organisms formed by colloidal materials.
Although we do not see the liquid water physically, the water is in the structure of the hydrogels and can be absorbed by the plants when they need it without having to water them.
