Actually ice floats on water because of a process known as 'ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF WATER '. when water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C instead of its density being decreased, it increases.

Hope it helps.

Liquids do have lower density than solids but there is a difference. Giving an example of an iceberg we can say that according to the archimedes principle ice can float on water. Search archimedes principle and u will get it.(Physics question actually)
