Its

because
Water puts out fire, it is not alive, it has no mouth, it needs oxygen and it can grow bigger.

An alternative that still somewhat fits, but is probably not the intended answer.
It is:
A soap bubble
Because:
It's not alive, but can grow by having air blown into it.
It has no mouth, but requires air to exist.
Splashing water on a bubble destroys it - Like in a kitchen sink.
