Characteristics that resctrict amphibians to water include:
1) They breathe through their skin, which needs to be moist.
2) Their eggs are fertilized via external fertilization, which requires water.
3) They have gills which only functions in water.
amphibians have skin that are slimey and can live in and and out of water
Any other characteristics than what? They are cold-blooded, they start their lifecycle in the water and at the onset of adulthood move to dryland. They are mainly carnivorous, eating small water creatures and insects.
They don't really. They hunt for food in water, but that's about it. It takes plenty more characteristics to make an amphibian.
Cold blooded, moist skin, can liv on land and water but not in hot places
Water can pass through the skin; they have lungs
Amphibians are both water AND land creatures
Amphibians don't have amniotic eggs - their eggs don't have shells, and they have to be laid in water. In general, amphibians are more dependent on water, most of them having aquatic larvae and having to keep their skin moist even as adults in order to breathe through it.

amphibians have their young ones in water
A turtle is classified as a reptile and not an amphibian because it has scaly skin, lays eggs on land, and breathes air through its lungs, which are characteristics of reptiles. Amphibians, on the other hand, have smooth skin, lay eggs in water, and breathe through their skin, which are characteristics of amphibians.
Amphibians are cold-blooded animals with moist, scaleless skin that can live both in water and on land. This unique ability to live dual lifestyles is one of the defining characteristics of amphibians.
All amphibians live on land and in water. They all lay eggs, they all go through a sort of metamorphosis, and they are all ectotherms.Ê
