Learn why jellyfish are mostly made of water, explained in a fun and easy way for young children.
Hello! Did you know that jellyfish are mostly made of water? Let's find out why!
A jellyfish is a soft sea animal that lives in the ocean. Its body is very squishy and see-through like jelly, which is why we call it a jellyfish.
Now, imagine you have a water balloon. What is inside? Mostly water, right? A jellyfish is a bit like that water balloon because most of its body is filled with water—about 95%! That's why it feels soft and wobbly.
The rest of the jellyfish's body has tiny parts that help it move and catch food, but water is the big part that makes up most of it.
So next time you see a jellyfish, remember: it’s like a wobbly water balloon floating in the sea!
