Eli5 why does not gravity pull the water down from a sponge or any other absorbant material?

It actually does.
If you soak a sponge and sit in on your counter for a day, you’ll find that the water has moved to the bottom while the top is drier.
It just takes time because the water has to move through material. So it’s not quick, but it happens.
