The more you take away, the larger it becomes? What is it?

Why this works

This riddle plays on the concept of a hole and how it functions in a physical sense. When you take away material from a surface—like digging into the ground—you’re actually increasing the size of the hole. It cleverly flips our usual understanding of size: rather than simply adding material to grow something, in this case, removing it creates a larger void, demonstrating the paradox of subtraction leading to growth!
