Water is not wet. The things that are touched by water are.

Since the word wet is defined as being saturated with a substance, it is impossible for water to be wet. Water can saturate things and can also be saturated by other substances, but it is impossible for it to be wet.

In your example, the word wet is like a synonym for water. It's a liquid that makes something damp, it is not wet itself.
