Water's properties and why life depends on them

Water has several unusual properties life as we know it depends on: it's an excellent solvent that dissolves many substances cells need to transport, it takes a lot of energy to heat or cool (helping organisms maintain stable temperatures), and it's less dense as a solid than a liquid, which is why ice floats instead of sinking.
