Your vagina is always wet for the same reason your mouth, nose, and eyes are always wet - the inside of your vagina is made of mucus membranes (like inside your mouth, nose, and eyes) which is like skin but without the top protective layer so more delicate. Discharge acts as lubrication to protect these mucus membranes from drying out and becoming damaged.

Discharge also acts as a means of cleaning the vagina, it flushes out dead cells and dirt, it is also slightly acidic to kill harmful bacteria while allowing bacteria to thrive - thanks to discharge your vagina is cleaner than yours mouth. You also have extra discharge as lubrication when aroused to allow penetration during sex without damage, and a cervical mucus leading up to ovulation which is what helps give the sperm something to swim through so it can reach the egg.
