Answer:

A lake that freeze over is helpful to the organisms inside the water because, the solid ice serves as a barrier between the water and the cold air above the water. The ice prevents the chilled air surrounding the water body from getting to the organisms inside the water.

Explanation ;

In some cases, as the ice colls it expands and can lift off the surface of the water beneath to create an air gap which maintains water oxygenation. If ice was denser than water, it would sink and the whole lake or river could freeze, also freezing the organisms living in the water and depriving them of oxygen.
