Water is actually a really good solvent for many substances, and it exists in large quantities. It enables chemical reactions to occur easier than they would on a dry surface, because all the molecules happily float there and are free to bump into eachother. That’s why cells are filled with water. It makes our life chemistry work.
But water doesn’t like to dissolve long carbon chains, like oils… or those our cell walls are made of. So they can form little isolated bubbles. Cells if you like.
