This is basically a geohydrological term, used in connection with groundwater. An aquifer is a rock sufficiently porous and pervious (that is, pores are so interconnected) so as to hold and release groundwater. If the rock can hold groundwater, but cannot release it, it is Aquiclude. If it can hold and release with difficulty, it is Aquitard. If it can neither hold nor allow groundwater to pass through, it is Aquifuge.
A highly fractured rock or a sandstone can be an example of an Aquifer.

Aquifers are areas between rock layers filled with water, a sort of natural filtration system that cleans the water that comes up as springs.
