Water is a chemical compound (2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 of oxygen), that can be in one of 3 states (solid, liquid, or gas) depending on the temperature (and to some degree the pressure).
Because water is so common to us, we have come up with names for the different states, and we all just use the word "water" to mean the liquid form of this compound.
Liquid is a fluid state that any material can become at the right temperature (and pressure) for that material.
Water and mercury are liquid at room temperature, but lead isn't liquid until 327 degrees C.

Water is known to have a Bent molecular shape from form of H20. A liquid can have any kind of molecular shape because its molecular form can be different. Also, a water is a type of liquid. Liquids can have different boiling points and freezing points. Water has a set boiling point of 373 K (100 degrees celcius) and a set freezing point of 273 K (0 degrees celcius).

Water is a liquid.
All matter can exist in three states - Solid, Liquid, and Gas.
The solid form of any matter is considered its frozen state. Steel, for example, is considered frozen, or solid, when it's used to create a piece of a bridge or building. The steel is superheated into a liquid in order to form it into a girder or steel cable - when it cools, it freezes into the form that we put it in. If we continued to superheat the steel, it would begin to evaporate, and turn into a gas.
So water is a liquid, but not all liquids are water.

Water is a liquid at temperatures above freezing, but not all liquids are water.

Water is an example of a liquid. Coca Cola is an example of a liquid.

Liquid is a state of matter, where matter will take the shape of a container into which it is poured. Water is a particular liquid.

Water is a liquid. So is milk. And orange juice. And mercury. And steel at certain temperatures. And glass, although a really, really slow moving one.
A liquid has a definite volume but variable shape.

All water is a liquid of some sort.
Not all liquid is water.
