Hello,

the answer to this is quite easy, so I'll try and explain it as simple as I can.

So, us humans need 'oxygen' to live right? We also need heat. Amphibians are different to us, their bodies function differently, so they need other resorces to keep them functioning.

Amphibians need oxygen and heat, which every living thing needs. But amphibians need water or to be near water is because they have little holes in there body, these holes suck up water to keep them moist, and cool from the harsh weather. Hot or cold, they need to stay moist or else there kidneys stop and lungs break down, kind of like a car.

I hope I answered your question.

What adaptations did reptiles receive that amphibians didn't?

Reptiles have developed an outer covering of scales or bony plates to retain their body moisture. Amphibian skin lets water pass in and out so amphibians must stay in or near a water source to keep their bodies from drying out. Amphibians develop from egg to larvae to adult in water. Reptiles do not have a larval stage.
