Ants die in water primarily because they are not adapted to survive in aquatic environments. Their bodies are not designed to hold oxygen underwater, and they can quickly drown as they cannot breathe. Additionally, the surface tension of water can trap them, making it difficult for them to escape. Prolonged exposure to water also disrupts their body functions, ultimately leading to death.
