Why are tardigrade so resilient and how CAN they be killed?

A tardigrade resilience mostly comes from its desiccated state. That is, when it is dehydrated and in "hibernation" so to speak.

When they are hydrated, they are prone to death by any form that regular lifeforms can experience. They arent immortal.
