Answer:

Believe it or not, ice is actually about 9% less dense than water. Since the water is heavier, it displaces the lighter ice, causing the ice to float to the top.

Answer:

Why does ice float on water and why is it important ?

Ice Floats. ... This ice layer insulates the water below it, allowing it to stay liquid, which allows the life within it to survive. If ice sank, the liquid water on top would also freeze and sink, until all the liquid water became frozen. Water is less dense as a solid, than as a liquid, which is why ice floats.
