There is an ocean on Europa which contains liquid water. Other than the Earth, Europa is the only place in the solar system where we have found liquid water. Life as we know it is very dependent upon liquid water, and life is believed to have originally evolved in the water, before moving to the land.

There may be life under Europa's vast oceans. It is cold, but heat from the moon's core and Jupiter's magnetic field may make it habitable for organisms under the ice.

The movement of segments of Europa's icy surface, akin it Earth's tectonic plates, indicates that part of the interior is liquid water.

Why do scientists think that Europa might have the conditions for life to develop?

As far was we know the development requires water in its liquid for to be present and a source of energy to supply/drive chemical reactions. We know that deep down Europa has a liquid layer (of water) and the geysers of this water into space proves that there is energy in Europa's core.
