Water is the most abundant component of the protoplasm (cytoplasm) of a cell because all critical biological molecules including DNAs, RNAs, proteins, enzymes, etc. require a dilute aqueous local environment to function properly. Without an excess of water in the cytoplasm, cell-based life would not be possible.
