There is provided a water-absorbent resin that exhibits both high water absorbency and high water-discharge capacity. The water-absorbent resin of the present invention is a water-absorbent resin comprising a polymer of a water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer, wherein when a cross-sectional image of the water-absorbent resin is observed using X-ray computed tomography, the water-absorbent resin has a ratio of the area of cavity portions (cavity area ratio) in the cross-sectional image of 5% or more, as calculated according to Equation (I):

cavity area ratio [%]={total cross-sectional area of cavity portions (B) in the water-absorbent resin/(total cross-sectional area of resin portions (A) in the water-absorbent resin+total cross-sectional area of cavity portions (B) in the water-absorbent resin)}100(I).
