It is often desirable to maintain an osmotic balance.

Most cells have a saline (NaCl or KCl) solution inside. If put in a hypotonic bath (pure water), it can cause the cells to be flooded with water and literally explode.

Putting them in a hypertonic solution (too much salt) can cause the opposite effect with water rushing out and the cells shriveling.

While amoebas may be used to clear water, human tissues are used to being bathed in saltwater.
