I was going to say no, but now you got me thinking. Perhaps it is. It's a near universal solvent so almost anything placed in it will start to undergo a breaking down process. This is essential to the processes of life as it helps create different chemicals that can be mixed and matched to create new ones. Without it a rock would always just stay a rock. Water turns a rock into a plant, a mushroom, a human. We know our own planet with its abundant water supply saw life form extremely early in Earth's existence, possibly within the first few hundred million years. Perhaps water mixed with some external energy source will always result in life being created when other minerals are present.

RNA is like DNA, but it's a single strand, whereas DNA is two strands, forming the double helix. DNA contains the code, RNA takes that code and turns it into life. The reason it's theorized to have been the precursor to life is because it can replicate, and if you can't replicate then life can never get started.
