Answer:
Dry capillary legs make them able to walk on the water surface.
Explanation:
Legs of Water strides consists of a large number of "microscopic hairs" along which a unique small structure "groves" are also attached. These groves increase their resistance against water by trapping the air.
Water strides have large buoyancy against the water surface due to resistance provided by groves and this characteristic makes them float on the surface so they do not sink and drown.
That is why their legs remain dry and make them able to walk on the water surface.
