For the most part, frogs breathe air through the mouth, and utilize internal nares when doing so outside of the water. In the water, they can put just enough of the external nares above water, but this is more important to get rid of carbon dioxide, as frogs can diffuse oxygen from the water through their skin.
nares is what they are called for baby and adult frogs
The nostrils of a frog are called nares.
The internal nostril openings (nares) carry air from the nostrils to the mouth, so that a frog can breathe air when on the surface, by expanding its mouth to pull in and "swallow" air. Underwater, the internal nares close to keep water out.
Frogs go into the water but need oxygen. So when they do go into the water their nares need to be located on the very top of their bodies, so they can be in the water as far as they can but still able to breathe.
Because they need to be able to sense when a predator is approaching.
