1. Water-absorbing resin particles comprising:
a crosslinked polymer having a monomer unit derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid and a salt thereof,
wherein a proportion of a (meth)acrylic acid and a salt thereof is 70 to 100 mol % with respect to a total amount of monomers in the crosslinked polymer,
a light transmittance at a wavelength of 425 nm when the water-absorbing resin particles are swollen 30 times with a physiological saline solution is 20% or more, and
a water retention capacity for the physiological saline solution is 30 to 55 g/g.
