Most frogs that are born in water, such as tadpoles, do need to remain in water for at least part of their life cycle to complete their development. As they grow, they undergo metamorphosis where they transition from aquatic tadpoles to air-breathing adult frogs that can live on land. Once they have fully metamorphosed, they may still need access to water for breeding and hydration but can live on land for extended periods.
