Answer:

Gravity causes water to infiltrate until it reaches impermeable zones where it is diverted laterally. Gravity generates the flow of springs, rivers, and wells. If the pores in rocks and sediments are connected, gravity allows the water to move slowly through them. in conclusion, I don't think that it's possible for water to go through a rock, but water is able to fit through tiny cracks in or around the rock.

Hope this helps ;)
