What is Hygroscopic - Hydrophilic - Hydrophobic waterproofing technology?

One of the basic technology on which waterproofing materials/chemicals depend on their nature towards the water. I.e. Hydrogroscopic/Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic?

Let's see what is Hygroscopic?
Hygroscopy is the phenomenon of attracting and holding water molecules by absorption or by adsorption from the surrounding environment, which is usually at normal or room temperature. If water molecules become suspended among the substance's molecules, adsorbing substances can become physically changed, e.g., changing in volume, boiling point, viscosity, or some other physical characteristic or property of the substance.

Let's see what is Hydrophilic?
Materials with a special affinity for water — those it spreads across, maximizing contact — are known as hydrophilic.

Let's see what is Hydrophobic?
Those that naturally repel water, causing droplets to form, are known as hydrophobic.
