Best Answer

Solid water, ice, is the least dense state of water, which means that ice floats on top of the liquid water and insulates the liquid water so that it doesn't freeze. So the water beneath the ice remains liquid, and fish and other aquatic organisms can still survive in freezing temperatures.
