उत्तर

A water spider can walk comfortably on the surface of still water because of the surface tension of water. The water surface behaves like a stretched elastic membrane and supports the spider’s small weight. Its legs also do not get wet easily, so they do not break the water surface. As a result, the spider can move across the surface without sinking.
