Why do organs look wet?

Why is it that when you see photos of surgery the stuff inside your body looks really wet?
Is it just from blood? Is there a fluid in our bodies that makes organs wet-looking? If there is a fluid, does it serve a purpose other than keeping organs wet?

Because they are wet, it’s essentially water (I believe it’s plasma) it keeps the tissues moisturized and soft

Your skin being exposed to air has a layer of dead skin to protect the live tissue, but if you were to start removing layers of skin it would start leaking fluid
