Deliquescent Nature

Deliquescent materials are substances (mostly salts) that have a strong affinity for moisture and will absorb relatively large amounts of water from the atmosphere if exposed to it, forming a liquid solution.

This is the type of material that Caustic soda (NaOH) represents. If you take a pellet of NaOH out of its reagent bottle and leave it on a watch glass in the open atmosphere it will turn into a puddle by picking up water from the atmosphere.

Hence NaOH is deliquescent.
