Which soil has the maximum water retaining capacity?

Clayey soil has a maximum water-retaining capacity.

Clayey soil consists of a higher proportion of the fine(small) particle. 

The particles of the clayey soil are tightly packed together, that’s why this soil can hold a good amount of water, and can not drain quickly. It traps less air between the particles, and also very good for growing various crops.
