Water is an inorganic compound, since it does not contain carbon. This does not mean that it is not necessary to life: The terms "organic" and "inorganic" in chemistry have remained unchanged from an earlier period when the chemistry underpinning life was poorly understood, but the definitions of these terms have changed so that a compound must contain carbon to be considered "organic" in the chemical sense.
