Why are there amphibians?

Answer 1

Amphibian is an appropriate name because Amphibian comes from two words, amphi which means double, and bios, which means life. Amphibians have a "double life," one as a tadpole, and one as an adult frog or toad.

Answer 2

To answer this question, one has to know the derivation of the word: amphibious. Amphibious is derived from Greek - amphi (both) and bios (life). Sure enough, an amphibian lives on land and in the water.

Answer 3

first of all: amphibians are a cold blooded animal of a class that compromises the frogs, toads, newts and salamanders they are distinguished by having an aquatic gill- breathing level stage followed (typically) by a terrestrial lung breathing adult stage.

the reason why there are amphibians is because its just like why are there human? amphibians are needed in the world to survive because you may or may not eat them :)

Answer 4

because it is from a Greek word. Meaning 'double- life', and as you probably know amphibians can live in and out of water!
