false, wet is a descriptor of saturation. the operative use of it noherer implies that the object in question must usually be dry. that would be a function of a modifying adjective. a piece of seaweed is usually not dry, but you would be perfectly fine to describe a piece of seaweed you took from the ocean as wet.

Ur getting into entomology and metaphysics now anon . Water is just one of those things that can’t be further simplified. It’s like trying to breakdown words like why , I , Me and what . Water is at the same level of these things and has to be accept as what it is .
