It depends on the species. Those that lay their eggs in water do so because the young hatch into tadpoles which must live in the water, using spiracles and gills to breathe, until they metamorphose. Many species of frogslay their eggs in water, but not all do e.g. the Corroboree frog.

Amphibian eggs have no shell to protect them and keep them hydrated. Toads must lay their eggs in water for them to hatch. The animals wait until the rainy season to mate and lay eggs in temporary ponds formed by the rain water.
