Water is the most essential constituent of life. Life cannot exist without water. About 90% of water is present in protoplasm. Water is available to the body through three sources – drinking water, water stored in food and metabolic activities. It helps in the transport of substances from one part of the body to the other part – digested food, hormones, excretory wastes etc. It also helps in regulating body temperature. For aquatic animals, it is a source of oxygen. eg- amoeba, hydra, leech, fish etc.
