Best Answer

Front legs stabilize and hold the body up to facilitate jumping. Frogs can walk as well as hop which takes four legs. The male frog needs to clasp the female during breeding so he needs front legs.
Frogs need their front legs to comb bugs out of their mouths that have a bad taste or sting.

Frogs have four legs so that they can use their front legs to move their body. Their back legs are to give them momentum to jump. Four legs are necessary for them to move.
