It's




A wood fire




because




Water puts out a wood fire, it is not alive, it has no mouth, it needs oxygen (air) and it can grow bigger.

$begingroup$

An alternative that still somewhat fits, but is probably not the intended answer.



It is:




A soap bubble




Because:




It's not alive, but can grow by having air blown into it.

It has no mouth, but requires air to exist.

Splashing water on a bubble destroys it - Like in a kitchen sink.

    Those occur between layers of different density, not necessarily limited to one of those layers being air, so they can occur without it.

    @person27 if we're delving deeping into it then fire can also burn without 'air' - it doesn't need the nitrogen or any of the other elements - only oxygen is necessary.

    @LioElbammalf It doesn't even need oxygen, just something that will fill a similar chemical rule. Among others Chlorinating and Fluorinating chemicals will work in place of oxygen sources, and in some cases can consume as fuel things that you'd normally consider already burned up like water, carbon dioxide, or sand.

      Lightning




      I am not a living thing, but I can grow




      Watch a slow motion video of lightning strike - it grows from clouds to earth (technically from earth to clouds!)




      I don't have lungs, but I need air




      Lightning doesn't happen without air (you can do it small scale in a lab, but it doesn't happen in nature or on a scale of lightning, so this is correct)




      I have no mouth, but water kills me




      No lightning strikes within solid water!

            Bunad

            Image
            Tradisjonelle folkedrakter frå Aust-Telemark, truleg frå 1880-åra. Drakter som dette er grunnlaget for moderne bunadar. Foto: Axel Lindahl Bunad frå Eggedal i Buskerud fotografert i 1906. Bunad (frå kledebunad , der norrønt «búnaðr» har same rot som (føre)bu) er ei samnemning brukt om klesdrakter i tradisjonell nordisk stil — ofte utvikla frå folkedrakter, men likevel i ein eigen tradisjon. Ein bunad er typisk ei forseggjort og kostbar drakt, med mykje broderi, og med handsmidde smykke i gull eller sølv, særleg dei særeigne søljene, som obligatorisk prynad i tillegg. Bunad og bunadbruk er eit debattemne med mange ulike oppfatningar, til dømes om kva som er ein bunad, og om ein kan endra på utforminga av draktene eller ikkje. Den norske bunadrørsla går tilbake til folkedansrørsla og føregangsfolk som Hulda Garborg og Klara Semb. I dag blir bunad brukt som nasjonaldrakt. Festbunad er likestilt med galla-antrekk, og ofte nytta ved særskilde høve, som konfirmasjonar eller d

Grani í vetrarfeldi. Færeyski hesturinn (færeyska: Føroyska rossið ) er hestur sem hefur lifað í Færeyjum í hundruði ára. Hann er smágerður, 120-132 cm á hæð, og helst skyldur hjaltlandshestinum. Hlutverk hans var að draga vagna og plóg og bera klyfjar. Hann hefur fjórar gangtegundir eins og íslenski hesturinn (þar með talið tölt) og er með fjölda litaafbrigði. Nú til dags er hann notaður til frístunda. Í lok 19. aldar voru til um 800 hross. Mörg þeirra voru seld til Bretlands til að vinna í kolanámum og um 1960 voru aðeins nokkrir hestar eftir. Átak var gert í að varðveita hestinn og eru nú til 70-80 hross í Færeyjum. [1] Heimild |   Wikimedia Commons er með margmiðlunarefni sem te
