  Hi @annabelbutcher
  Good question.
  I don’t actually know the answer, but I think it would be the same as for all cells in the human body. They all contain and need water too. So if it was left for long enough all the water would evaporate eventually leaving it (even more) wrinkly and dry, but this would take a long time, as it’s hard for water to evaporate out of cells, even once a person has died.
  
  Hope this answers your question.
