hey dear here your answer;
➡The cells are found in the mucous membranes that line the respiratory, intestinal, urinary, and reproductive passages. The mucus in these locations protects the lining of the passage, provides lubrication to allow for the transport of materials, and keeps the area moist.
due to these reasons mucus know as slime.

Hi,
=======:
Here is your answer,
=======:
The reason behind so are :
1.Mucus is able to absorb water or dehydrate through pH variations.
2.The swelling capacity of mucus stems from the bottlebrush structure of mucin within which hydrophilic segments provide a large surface area for water absorption.
3. Moreover, the tunability of swelling effect is controlled by polyelectrolyte effect.
4. Mucus also acts like a lubricant, which is the main reason for called it as slime.
