Why does lump of cotton shrink in water?
Cotton wool shrinks in water for two main reasons. 1. Cotton (and wool, silk, etc.) swell up when they come in contact with water because they absorb water. They subsequently shrink when the water is removed from them. This is called water regain. Cotton has the fifth highest water regain (with wool having the most). 2. When agitated, such as when hand/machine washed (much more apparent in machine washing), the cotton fibres are forced together, packing more closely, which gives the overall effect of shrinking the cotton.

Can cotton have the ability to float on water?
The cotton, even though a solid, floats on water because its density is much less compared to that of water. The particles of cotton are very light in weight. However, it will be noticed that, after some time, the cotton sinks in water. This is because, the water has been absorbed by the cotton, and the particles of cotton have become heavy. Then, they cannot absorb any more. So, they completely sinks to the bottom of the water after a certain time period-By Satyam KUmar of DAV PUBLIC SCHOOL KOYLA NAGAR DHANBAD CLASS IX-A
