So that they dont die
- Water acts as a solvent to provide a liquid environment for biochemical reactions. Solid phase is too slow and gaseous phase is too fast for biochemical reactions.
- Water stays liquid at high temperatures (relatively compared to CH4 and NH3) and stays liquid over a wide range of temperatures. Higher temperatures and wider range of temperatures for liquid phase means that reactions can happen faster and under more diverse circumstances.
- Water dissolves polar compounds and does not dissolve nonpolar compounds. This is important for both biochemical reactions and crucial hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions in protein folding.
- Water is an important reactant in certain biochemical reactions such as electrolysis reactions and the first step of the photosynthetic electron transport chain.
- Water has a high specific heat capacity to facilitate better maintenance of internal temperature and the usage of evaporation to cool down.

Why is it important to classify organisms like trees and insects?
It is important to classify organisms like trees and insects because they all need water, food, shelter, and all the essentials to grow. They're basically classified in that category because they are all living creatures. Weather they move or stay still they all are living things.
What is the most important characteristic of living organisms?
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
What do all living organisms need?
All living organisms need energy to carry out their life functions, such as growth and reproduction. They also need nutrients, water, and an environment that provides suitable living conditions. Additionally, living organisms require a way to eliminate waste products from their bodies.
