Do automatic wm use water for balance?

I have a Samsung fully automatic wm. I had bought a stand with rollers on it (which I regret now). Thing is, the wm vibrates too much and literally shakes a lot on the stand. So after the washing & drying was over, I went to remove the wm from the stand and heard water splashing inside it.
Fact it, all the water in the drum had already drained away before the spin cycle began.

So is there some reserve water in a ballast or something ( like in ships) used to maintain balance for the drum during operation? Or is it dirty water and I'll have to open it up and clean it? :confused:
I keep the wm lid open so there's hardly any bad smell from the tub.
