Sand, Loam, Silt loam, and clay, and particles in the soil

Explanation:

These soils are the most porous, by volume:
Sand: 42% Loam: 55% Silt loam: 56% Clay: 60%

The property that makes them so porous is underlying particles in the soil that cause gaps (pores)

The pores sometimes hold air and even water!
