Because water is a liquid and one of the main properties of liquids are that they are wet, water is also wet.
Another reason is also because water is a compound meaning that the stuff that creates it (hydrogen and oxygen) lose their properties when thy are mixed together.
Answer"Wet" is just a describing word that we use to describe something that has a liquid on or in it. So why does water act this way? Simply because it is a liquid and acts as such
Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.
