Not all clays. Lateritic clays have very poor adsorption powers,

For those of you on the Left Coast, there's a very nice exposure of
bright red lateritic soil on the east side of I-5 a little north of
Grass Pants, Oregon. Just a small cut with some erosion that exposes
the subsoil, but quite prominent because of the brilliant color.
