Live rock is essentially dead coral skeleton mixed with dead coralline algae that's been sitting in the ocean for hundreds or thousands of years. That's why it's so porous. The calcium carbonate skeleton that reef-building corals put down is already porous but over time, weathering and the actions of worms, crabs, etc make it even more porous.
You want to know what I've done with dead flowerpot skeletons that looks pretty neat. Frag some zoanthids onto it. Once the entire skeleton gets covered, it looks cool.
