Actually, if you want to be really nit-picky, the word is resorb.

I believe this is derived from the words re-absorb, and so yes, in that regard it seems that it should be incorrect, but resorb is the actual medical term for the degredation and assimilation of a physiologic structure.

Though I think "absorb" would be correct as well.
