Frogs are amphibians, so they spend most of their time in water. This causes them to have a protective layer of skin to keep them from drying out. This and the fact that they spend much time in water results in a slimy texture of their skin.

Do purple frogs feeel slippery?
Frogs have unusual skin. Frogs don't usually swallow water like we do. Instead they absorb most of the moisture they need through their skin. Because frogs get oxygen through their skin when it's moist, they need to take care of their skin or they might suffocate. Sometimes you'll find frogs that are slimy. This is because the frog skin secretes a mucus that helps keep it moist. Even with the slimy skin, these frogs need to stay near water. Toads on the other hand have tougher skin that doesn't dry out as fast, so they can live farther from water than most frogs.
