Well, this is just a guess, but their roots are implanted into the ground while their flowers are floating on the water surface. Their stem has to stretch from the ground to the flower. So if the water moves, their stem may snap or their roots may be detached from the ground ( a bit too serious, maybe? ) Anyway, I'm not very sure. Maybe you can try wikipedia?
Hope I helped, at the very least! :)

Feeding and Watering Tips for Calla lilies?
Calla lilies are hardy, popular garden plants that need their own special care. Calla lilies grow well in many zones, but they are originally from tropical marshlands. Therefore, they need frequent watering and do well in partial shade. Also, they need bi-weekly feeding either through liquid fertilizer in water or compost in soil during periods of very active blooming. If growing calla lilies in a pot, however, they do not need as much fertilizer.
