Frogs are reptiles because they both live near water and have smooth skin. Since reptiles like snakes and lizards can be found in wet environments and sometimes swim, it makes sense that frogs, which also spend a lot of time in water, would be considered reptiles too. Plus, both frogs and reptiles lay eggs, which means they must be part of the same group of animals.
