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.
ab新orb: Take in or soak up (energy, or a liquid or other substance) by chemical or physical action, typically gradually.

re新orb: Absorb (something) again.

Both definitions taken from google. Snakes do not resorb, they absorb. Resorb would mean they formed follicles, absorbed them, formed more follicles and resorbed them also.
