I was looking at digestion times of different foods and they had waters time as instantly. How?

Water is not digested (it’s not broken down). Water mostly passes through your stomach and into the blood over the course of a few hours (if it’s just water, a lot is absorbed pretty quickly), but some of it invariably travels through the intestines and is slowly absorbed over the course of a day or two. How much goes which way depends a lot on if there’s food involved at the same time.
The water is never fully absorbed instantly, but the process of absorbing it begins instantly because no time or energy is used to digest it (break it down).
