Dehydration.
Because the atoms removed from the monomers combine to form water.
The process that joins monomers in a disaccharide or polysaccharide is called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. In this process, a water molecule is removed as the monomers are joined together to form a larger sugar molecule.
When joining individual glucose monomers together to form a polysaccharide like starch or glycogen, a water molecule is removed in a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond.
Covalent bonds form when water is removed from a molecule, such as in a dehydration synthesis reaction where a water molecule is removed to form a bond between two molecules. In biological systems, this process is often used to link monomers together to form polymers like proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Macromolecules are formed through a process called polymerization, where monomers are linked together via covalent bonds. This reaction often involves a dehydration synthesis (or condensation) reaction, in which water is removed as the monomers join together. For example, in the formation of proteins, amino acids are linked through peptide bonds, while carbohydrates are formed from monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. This process results in the creation of large polymers such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.
Hydrolysis converts polymers to monomers by adding H2O between each monomer. In dehydration synthesis, the opposite occurs. As the name implies, water is removed in order to bond the monomers.

In most biological polymers, it is water. This is called dehydration synthesis

Dehydration synthesis, also known as condensation reaction, requires two main components: monomers (small molecules) and an enzyme to catalyze the reaction. During the process, a water molecule is removed as the monomers bond together to form a polymer. This reaction typically occurs in biological systems, forming essential macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. The energy to drive this process often comes from ATP or other energy-rich molecules.
The chemical process by which a molecule of water is removed from the reactants to join the reactants together. Dehydration synthesis takes place when the monomers of organic compounds join together by a chemical reaction to make polymers. Hydrolysis its the opposite reaction of breaking up polymers and is accomplished also by chemical reaction. "The joining of two molecules associated with the removal of a water molecule" -Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology 7th ed.
The reaction that allows glucose and fructose to combine and form sucrose is called a condensation reaction. In this reaction, a water molecule is removed as the two monomers bond together to form a polymer.
This means that in the process of forming polysaccharides, water molecules are removed as a result of the reaction between monosaccharide molecules. The monosaccharides combine through the removal of a hydroxyl group from one molecule and a hydrogen atom from another, creating a covalent bond between the two molecules to form a larger carbohydrate polymer.
A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides are joined together by a reaction known as a dehydration, or condensation, synthesis. In this type of reaction water is removed, thus the name "dehydration". A new molecule is formed or "synthesized" from the two previously separate ones.
