Yes!Frogs respirate through their skin, especially when submerged in water

What is an amphibian?

An amphibian is a cold-blooded vertebrate characterized by a dual life cycle, typically starting in water as larvae (e.g., tadpoles) and transitioning to land as adults. They include frogs, toads, and salamanders.

Frogs being amphibian are known for their ability to breathe through their skin, especially when submerged in water. The skin is thin and moist, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through.

This cutaneous respiration supplements their breathing through lungs.

Therefore, yes, frog skin plays a crucial role in the respiratory system of frogs.
