Explanation:

The aquatic animals can breathe under water due to the presence of dissolved oxygen in water. Thus the solids, liquids and gases can diffuse into liquids. The rate of diffusion of liquids is higher than that of solids. This is due to the fact that in the liquid state, particles move freely and have greater space between each other as compared to particles in the solid state.
