because of the way the English language works. You change the y to an i and add -es. This happens with similar words such as fry, try, and dry.

The plural form of "cry" is "cries" because it follows the standard English rule for forming plurals by adding "-es" to words ending in a consonant followed by a "y." The "y" changes to "i" in the plural form to maintain pronunciation.
