It is water because it freezes into ice(solid), melts into water(liquid) and evaporates(gas).

Answer:

Almost any element can meet these criteria. As an example iron can be seen as a solidi (commonly) as a liquid in a foundry, and as a gas in the corona of stars. Even hydrogen which is normally a gas can be cooled to form a liquid and even a solid (at almost absolute zero). Many compounds also meet these criteria, but many dissociate into their component materials at higher temperatures.

Does liquid matter or solid matter take up more space?

Liquid matter typically takes up more space than solid matter because the particles in a liquid are not as closely packed together as in a solid. This is why liquids have a fixed volume but can take the shape of their container.
