How does water get below the surface to become groundwater?

Once it reaches the zone of saturation under the ground, groundwater begins to move slowly by the force of gravity through the interconnecting pore spaces until it reaches a discharge area, where it seeps or flows out into a wetland, spring, river, or pond to become part of the surface water.

the dirt sucks up the water from the surface to go to animals and plant and then becomes groundwater.
