Difference between Permeable and Porous

PERMEABLE vs POROUS: ADJECTIVE

Allowing fluids or gases to pass or diffuse through
Of or relating to substance, substrate, membrane or material that absorbs or allows the passage of fluids.
Capable of being permeated, or passed through; yielding passage; passable; penetrable; -- used especially of substances which allow the passage of fluids
Capable of being permeated or penetrated, especially by liquids or gases.
Allowing (especially liquids) to pass or diffuse through

Full of pores; having interstices in the skin or in the substance of the body; having spiracles or passages for fluids; permeable by liquids
Easily crossed or penetrated.
Admitting the passage of gas or liquid through pores or interstices.
Allowing passage in and out
Full of pores or vessels or holes
Able to absorb fluids

That may be permeated; capable of being passed through without rupture or displacement of parts: noting particularly substances that permit the passage of fluids.
