A blobfish appears slimy out of water because its body is primarily composed of a gelatinous substance that is less dense than water. This adaptation allows it to maintain buoyancy at deep ocean depths where it lives, but when brought to the surface, the lack of water pressure causes its body to collapse and lose structure, resulting in a slimy appearance. The blobfish's unusual texture is a survival mechanism suited for its deep-sea environment, where it feeds on small marine organisms.
