Water is not an organic compound. Ice is the solid phase of water. Water is an inorganic compound.

Organic compounds were so named because they occurred in organisms (animals, plants and so on). For many years scientists thought they formed a distinct branch of chemistry, and that there was no connection between them and inorganic chemicals.

Water does not need living organisms to form it. In any case, all organic compounds contain the element carbon, which water does not.

Some examples of organic compounds are glucose and other sugars, starch, proteins, and fats.
