Technically water is considered a solvent due to it’s ability to break down more material than any other liquid.
True, but they must have the concept of ‘dry.’ And give it unpleasant connotations.
If they have ‘dry’ they have ‘not dry’, but maybe not a singular term for it.
I stand by my comment last page about natural swimming pools.

It makes complete sense that she(?) doesn’t believe water would be damaging on its own since they lived almost their entire lives in water. It would be like telling most humans that they had to be careful not to let air touch the roof because it would damage it. It sounds ridiculous because air is everywhere!
Air absolutely can damage roofs. Many metals can corrode in air, organic materials are succeptible to being attacked by molds that depend on access to oxygen, and strong enough winds will destroy anything.
