Napkins absorb water through a process called capillary action, where water molecules are drawn into the tiny fibers of the napkin. These fibers are made of cellulose, a material that has a high affinity for water, allowing the liquid to spread throughout the napkin as the fibers pull it in and hold it. This ability to absorb is enhanced by the large surface area and porous nature of the napkin's structure.
