∙ 13y agoThe frog, while still a tadpole, are legless and so the they need to swim by undulation in the water for mobilization. Also, it is like the fish which uses gills as breathing apparatus.
As the tadpole matures into into a toad, legs are developed and the gills are shed off and makes us of its lungs. These 2 organs are adapted for use on land.

∙ 6y agoFrogs are amphibians. This means that the adult frog leaves the water and will live in damp places (under pond-side stones and rocks). But they still need to come back into water to lay their eggs (frog spawn), as their tadpoles initially breath through external gills. Only when the tadpole becomes an adult, do they need to come on land, and live a semi-aquatic existence.
