Explanation:

Single and multiple-plate clutch:

As the number of contacting surfaces increases, more amount of heat will be generated.

Multiplate clutch has more contacting surfaces as compared to single plate clutch resulting in more amount of heat generation. Thus, a large amount of heat generation requires cooling to maintain functionality therefore multi-plate clutches are considered as wet clutch while single plate clutches are considered as dry clutches.
