Why amphibians live near water or in a moist environment?

Answer 1

amphibians are those kind of animals,which couldnt leave without water ,and they also cant breath in water too long,so they need to come out on ground. they need to be clother to the water because they eat water insects, fishes,some kind of plants and so on, which are important for them. if they couldnt find food on ground,they are going into the water.

Answer 2

Amphibians have smooth, scaleless skin which is permeable to water. Water can evaporate easily from the skin, and an amphibian can dry up and die in a few hours if it does not have access to water. Thus amphibians tend to be active at times when evaporation is minimized: at night and when it rains.However, this same skin permeability makes it possible for amphibians to obtain moisture from sources besides pools of water. This means that amphibians can live in very dry climates, like deserts, and when the dry season arrives, they just burrow underground and pull in moisture from the surrounding soil. Despite this, the amphibian's tie to water remains: their eggs must be laid in water in order to survive.
