∙ 12y agoA nonliving living thing. In order for water to be a living thing it needs to pass the four tests listed below. ( Got this from my 7th grade science book)
1. All life forms contain deoxyribonucleic acid, which is called DNA.
2. All life forms have a method by which they take energy from the surroundings, and convert it into energy that helps them live.
3. All life forms can sense changes in their surroundings and respond to those changes.
4. All life forms reproduce.
As we can see water can't reproduce, can't take in energy to make it live, and does not have DNA. In order to make be classified as a living thing, it can't even not pass one test; it has to pass all four. But water does pass the third test, since the water crystals react to words and music. (Find out more at Dr. Emtemo's website about water crystals.)
Overall we can obviously conclude that water is not a living thing.

Does every non-living thing have water in it?
No. Say a printer, for instance. A printer is a nonliving thing because it doesn't carry out the life functions, or have organs. It is a nonliving object, that has no water in it. So to answer you question, not all nonliving things have water in them.
