water is not a living object.
Given the basic attributes of living matter:
1.) Growth- water does not grow.
2.) Movement- Water moves with the presence of external force.
3.) Response to Stimulus- water does not pat you back when you pat it. right?
therefore, water is not a living object. properties of living matter are not manifested by it.
Water is an object. Grow? as in changes in size and shape? Yes- it does that. Movement- Yes it moves without external force- it evaporates, the vapor turns into rain... etc... Response to stimulus- it most certainly does! Think about movement in plate tectonics, one small movement and water can respond in extreme ways.

∙ 13y agoWater in non living, because it doesn't express the signs of a living thing, which includes the ability to grow and reproduce, plus it doesn't contain carbon, which is in all organic materials, which is what living things are made of.
Water has no cells, and cannot carry out the life functions. Therefore water obviously can't be a living thing.

How is volume of an irregular object calculated?
To find the volume of an irregular object such as a rock, you have to use displacement. If you place the object in a graduated cylinder filled with water, the volume of the object is equal to the amount of water that the object displaces. For example, if a graduated cylinder is filled with 100mL of water, and you place an object such as a rock and the water rises from 100mL to 106mL, then the volume of the rock is 6.
Does every non-living thing have water in it?
