Answer
It is difficult to walk on a wet road because the water reduces the friction between our feet (or shoes) and the road surface. Friction is necessary to grip the ground and push backward while walking. When the road is wet, the thin layer of water acts as a lubricant, making the surface slippery. This decrease in friction causes our feet to slip more easily, making it harder to walk steadily and safely.
