Does open cell foam (0.5lb) absorb water?

No, actually it repels water. If placed in water it will float, and on removal, it will dry rapidly with no loss of insulating properties. A roof or plumbing leak would moisten the insulation, but it will not damage the foam. Other insulation methods such as fiberglass and cellulose can’t make the same claim.
