i really only need people who seriously know the answer
not speculation or guesses or those who just want points

No, it is not carbon containing. Lucky for you I am a serious answerer since I'm a PhD student in organic chemistry, We can use it, though, in organic chemistry to act as a nucleophile, or for simple acid/base chemistry.

Majorly the answer is no but It can be depending on it's source .
We all know that Earths water came from comets billions of years ago when earth formed and when stardust brought back bits of comet grains the water molecule was the same as our oceans .
Even different ones not seen on Earth !
Eight new organic molecules were found actually .
Quite the amazing feat for humankind .
I called the Stardust headquarters, found the number in our observatory database . Here is what they found ..
The newly discovered molecules are made up of 6 to 11 atoms each and are classified as organic because they contain carbon.
Five of the molecules were discovered in Sagittarius B2(N), a star-forming dust cloud located 26,000 light-years from Earth near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This stellar nursery is the largest known repository of complex interstellar molecules.
The other three molecules were found in the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC-1), located only 450 light-years away. TMC-1 is starless; it is cold and dark and has a temperature of only 10 degrees above absolute zero.
Isn't that mind blowing ! We'll never leave Earth but we found new molecules in space and brought them to our home planet to look at under the microscope !!!

No an organic molecule must contain carbon. Water is only hydrogen and oxygen
An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with exception of carbides, carbonates and carbon oxides. The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry. Many of these compounds, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars), are also of prime importance in biochemistry.

It depends on how tight a definition of "organic" you are using. If you limit it to carbon-based molecules, then the answer is no. If you expand it to those molecules that participate in the biology of an organism, then the answer is yes. From a regulatory sense, "water" is not regulated as an "organic" food with regards to pesticide contamination and cultivation practices.

B) wheat - Being a plant it takes in the two CO2 and water. it extremely is gotta do some thing with 'em? What extra suitable than make organic and organic molecules? (strengthen) The animals take up Oxygen and launch CO2. The Fungus? Anybodys' wager.

water is not an orgainic molecule. All organic molecules include the element carbon, and water contains only Hydrogen and Oxygen. While it is one of the most important compounds in living creatures, it is not considered an organic compound

No. Organic compound requires carbon. No carbon = Not organic compound. That is why alcohol is an organic solvent and water is an inorganic solvent.

No, because it (H2O) contains no carbon. Organic chemistry deals with the study of carbon-containing compounds.
