I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but I need water to live. What am I?
Focus on the water aspect - and don't fall into doubt.

8$\begingroup$ "I need water to live" -- "Live" seems deceptive, since you're not alive. Why not just "I need water"? $\endgroup$– wjandreaCommented Feb 3, 2023 at 3:12

It might be this:
a wave
It is made of water, grows over time and it needs air to form. And it doesn't live.

I think you must be a
Cloud
I am not alive, but I grow;
Clouds aren't alive but they grow as they form in the atmosphere.
I don't have lungs, but I need air;
Clouds are necessarily suspended in the air.
I don't have a mouth, but I need water to live.
Clouds are formed of water droplets. If the water evaporates, the cloud disappears.

I think this could be:
Rust, which could be considered to grow in the presence of oxygen (air) and water.

I think you must be
PU (poly-urethane) foam
I am not alive, but I grow;
growing is the purpose of the PU foam
I don't have lungs, but I need air;
while growing, PU foam becomes spongy(ier)
I don't have a mouth, but I need water to live.
PU foam does not expand without water (humidity)

You are a
underwater bubble
I am not alive, but I grow;
Bubbles are not alive, but as they rise from deeper water they get bigger
I don't have lungs, but I need air;
The bubble is filled with air
I don't have a mouth, but I need water to live.
Underwater bubbles are under water ;-)
