Why do Lillies need water depth?

I am not sure about the deeper water part. I can tell you that lilies in
general send out shoots to figure out what depth they are at. Then send out
longer shoots until they reach the top. I your case when you moved the
lilies to a deeper area they probably were in shock because they couldn't
find the surface.

I have a hardy lilly in my little pond, when I lowered it earlier this
year it nearly crapped out, so I raised it back up to about an inch or
two under water and it has gone like gang busters. Now it is fading a
bit (it has been hot in LA, though).

Anywy, just wondering why the say to put it deep, yet mine seems to be
doing just fine near the surface.
