Why air is a better respiratory medium?
the respiratory medium of aquatic and terrestrial organisms are water and air respectively.Aquatic animals get oxygen dissolved in water while terrestrial animals get oxygen from atmospheric air.The oxygen content of air is much higher then the oxygen content of water.The ventilation in water is far more difficult than the ventilation in air because water is denser then air. Thus air is the better respiratory medium then water.
What is the advantage of air as respiratory medium?

Why can't terrestrial animals not be sessile?
Terrestrial animals cannot be sessile because they live on land. Sessile animals are aquatic and live in the water. +++ That's no the definition of "sessile". A sessile organism is one that anchors itself to one place for its life, or most of its life. Most do live in water but by no means all aquatic animals are sessile. Fish are not!
