Phosphorus is a non-metal which is stored in water. It is poisonous and can ignite instantly when it comes into contact with air. So it is stored in water.
Phosphorus has 3 allotropes. They are white, red and black. White phosphorus is dangerously reactive in air. It has to be handled with forceps. If it comes into contact with the skin it can cause severe burns.

The answer is white
phosphorus.
White phosphorus must always be kept under water. This is because it can be dangerously reactive when exposed to air and result in spontaneous ignition. It should also not be handled using bare hands as it can cause burns on the skin.
