For external reproduction, plants that live in moist environments, need water to transport their gametes to enable sperm and egg cells to meet.

For internal fertilization, the water holds enough nutrients to support and hold the embryo in the female.

The advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is the ability to create a diversity in properties of the offsprings.

While In asexual reproduction the genetic properties of the parent are inherited as is to the offspring, in sexual reproduction half of the genetic load comes from the one parent and the second from the second parent.

Another source of diversity is the fact that in the process of meiosis and creation of germ cells (egg, sperm) there is a process of recombinations that also increase the diversity of sexual reproducing species.

Water has nutrients to support the embryo and it ensures that the embryo doesn't lose moisture so it won't dry out.
