Water itself is a substance that exists in three dimensions, as it occupies space and has volume. However, when we refer to "water" in various contexts (like in physics, chemistry, or everyday conversation), we might describe it in various ways, such as as a liquid, solid (ice), or gas (water vapor), but physically, it exists in a 3D space.
If you're referring to the molecular structure of water, the water molecule (H2O) also has a three-dimensional shape due to the geometry of the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. This tetrahedral arrangement gives water its unique properties, such as being a polar molecule and having a high boiling point relative to its molecular weight.
If you have a different context in mind or need clarification, feel free to ask!
