Why is water wet?

Simple: It isn't.
When a surface is covered with water molecules, the surface is wet. However, water itself is not wet. Wetness is a characteristic of a surface in contact with water.
Although, if you're looking for an explanation of why water is capable of making materials wet, that's a different answer.
The properties of surface tension (adhesive and cohesive forces of water) allow it to make objects wet.
