The specific heat of water is quite large. Explain why this fact makes water particularly good for heating systems (that is hot water radiators)

It's because of its sluggishness.
Water takes a long time to heat up but then you get the benefit of it taking a long time to cool down.
This is why oceans are made of it. Helps keep the planet's temperatures relatively stable.
It's a good idea.

If water had a lower specific heat you would need to pump more of it through the radiator [at the same temperature change] to move the same amount of heat.
