Why does salt absorb water from eggplants?

[Edit]

Answer

Salt doesn't really absorb water, it just pulls out the liquid. This happens with everything, not just eggplants.

It has to do with osmosis. That's a chemistry term and not necessarily a cooking term. And there is additional information in the WikiAnswers section on chemistry.
