organic in the scientific sense (not the consumer product sense) means something is carbon-based (roughly, some exceptions exist). Generally think of the molecules that are essential to living and dead cells, tissues and organs. H20 is an inorganic compound, although many organic things often exist in non-distilled water.
if you add something organic, like glucose, to water then technically the glass of sugar water is now “organic” because of the presence of the organic sugar. The H20 molecules themselves are still inorganic, but the organic glucose molecules are present and mixing around with them. It’s technically a mixed compound with both organic and inorganic molecules.
As to your question, if you somehow altered the H20 molecules to include carbon in their molecular chain, they would cease to be water and would become something different. If you just add organic molecules into a mixture with water, then it’s just a mixed compound.
So…from what I’ve gathered from my geologist co-worker is yes but unless the distinction is necessary minerals are just kinda referred to as rocks. A lot of things that are totally rocks aren’t considered ‘rocks’ by geologists cause people were involved in their creation or alteration. Basically if its not worth studying they don’t call it a rock. So while pavement is totally a rock, its not a TRUE rock
Water isn’t organic. It’s literally lava and ice is a rock. It cant be organic by definition.
I honestly don’t know enough science to tell if this is a joke or not.

Wow learn something new. So theoretically could organic water have carbon added? I wouldn’t know the benefit

It’s not. I work with a dude with a geology degree and ice fits all the criteria for being a rock and therefore water is lava.
Unless it’s undergound, then it’s magma
Wouldn’t it be a mineral, rather than a rock?

Born too late to experience Pangaea
Born too soon to witness how plastic behaves in rock strata
