It is because the freezing point of the water is less than the room temperature and also the boiling point of the water is very above the room temperature. This makes the water to exist in the liquid state.

(a) At room temperature (25 C), water is a liquid because it has the following characteristic of liquid:
(i) At room temperature, water has no shape but has a fixed volume that is, it occupies the shape of the container in which it is kept.
(ii) At room temperature, water flows.
(b) An iron almirah is a solid at room temperature (25 C) because:
(i) it has a definite shape and volume like a solid at room temperature.
(ii) it is rigid as solid at room temperature.

(a) water at room temperature is liquid because at this temperature (i)it has fixed volume and (ii)it can flow.
(B) An iron almirah is solid at room temperature because at this temperature (i) it has definite shape along with fixed volume and (ii) It can not flow like water and hence does not possess fluidity.

At room temperature (anywhere from zero degree centigrade to 100 degrees centigrade), water is found in a liquid state. This is because of the tiny, weak hydrogen bonds which, in their billions, hold watermolecules together for small fractions of a second.Water molecules are constantly on the move.
