A frog might be able to live without its tongue only for a short while. This is because a frog relies on its tongue to trap insects for food.
The tongue is attached to the front of the mouth on a frog.

A frog's sticky tongue is used to catch and hold onto prey, such as insects, by quickly extending and retracting it. The sticky mucus on the tongue helps to trap the prey and pull it back into the frog's mouth for swallowing.
The frog's tongue is attatched near the front of the mouth rather than the rear. This means that it can be curled at the base of the mouth with the tip pointing backwards towards the frog's throat. The tongue can therefore be flipped out very quickly in order to catch insects and other prey. Mucus glands in the frog's mouth also produce a sticky substance which makes it easier for prey to stick to the tongue.
A frog's sticky tongue helps it catch prey by quickly extending and retracting to grab insects or other small creatures. The sticky mucus on the tongue allows the frog to easily trap and swallow its food whole. The tongue also assists in transporting prey to the frog's mouth for consumption.

A frog's tongue is fastened to the front of the mouth instead of the back. This is an adaption the frog has made over time. It is in the front so it does not block the epiglottis (esophagus) and so the frog can reach its tongue out farther to catch a fly with speed and accuracy.
