Enzymes need water for two reasons. One, they are like a miniature body. They need water to live. Water is basically one of their energy sources. Two, enzymes help break down food that you eat. What better to do that than water? You chew it up into small pieces, water breaks it down even further, and then your stomach acid turns what it needs into energy and other stuff, and what it doesn't need into waste.

Hope this helped,

Why does a mixture of enzymes and starch kept in a water bath?

A mixture of enzymes and starch kept in a water bath allows the enzymes to work optimally at a specific temperature. Enzymes are sensitive to temperature and work best within a certain range, so the water bath helps maintain a constant temperature for the enzymes to efficiently break down the starch into simpler molecules.
