Is close enough in plain english to absorb the oil.

No, it’s not.
Absorption /= emulsification. Nor does it equal adsorption.
They’re different, and have different properties.
An emulsification can be broken by agitation or introduction of another substance.
Soap and water do not absorb oil.

If you hit a rock with an hammer that rock becomes dust, the hammer did not absorb the rock
