Yes, the standard definition of an amphibian is a vertebrate animal that lives part of its life (usually the developmental/childhood portion) in water and part of its life (usually the adult portion) on land. However, this isn't always a clear distinction - many amphibians such as frogs will spend their whole lives around and in water, but gain the ability to stay on land as an adult.
