Claim 4:
5. A liquid container comprising:
a case having a liquid introduction port through which liquid is introduced and a storage portion that stores the liquid; and
an absorber stored in the case and configured to absorb the liquid, wherein
the absorber includes
a first resin group in which a plurality of absorbent resins that swell by absorbing the liquid are arranged in a line in a first direction,
a second resin group in which a plurality of absorbent resins that swell by absorbing the liquid are arranged in a line in the first direction with a space between the second resin group and the first resin group, and
a substrate that supports the first resin group and the second resin group and allows the liquid to permeate therethrough, and
with the absorbent resins swelling by absorbing the liquid, at least some of the absorbent resins of the first resin group are spaced apart from the absorbent resins of the second resin group, wherein
the absorber includes
a first substrate that supports the first resin group and the second resin group and
a second substrate that supports the first resin group and the second resin group,
the first substrate and the second substrate are stacked on top of each other in a stacking direction, in the case, and
in plan view in the stacking direction, the first resin group and the second resin group supported in the first substrate intersect the first resin group and the second resin group supported in the second substrate.
