Final answer:

The majority of groundwater is stored within the Zone of saturation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The majority of groundwater is stored within the Zone of saturation. Rocks and soil just beneath the land's surface are part of the unsaturated zone, and pore spaces in them are filled with air. Once the water table is reached, then rocks and soil pore spaces are filled with water, in the saturated zone.
