Hydrophilic

Hydrophilic structures have the tendency to mix with and sometimes dissolve in water. Cotton is a great example of a hydrophilic structures because when it comes in contact with water, it immediately soaks it up. Cell membranes and sugar are also good examples of hydrophilic structures because they either accept water into their cells, making a porous membrane, or they dissolve in water by dissociating in water by splitting their cells.
