Because water exerts a buoyant force on stone.
For further explanation see the Archimedes Law.
we did not learn the archimedes law in 8th
Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid.
ok
yes
