Why don't rocks float?
Rocks are generally denser than water, so they sink instead of floating. The buoyant force acting on an object in water is not sufficient to counterbalance the weight of most rocks, causing them to sink. Additionally, rocks are not porous enough to trap enough air to make them float.

What things don't float in water?

Is there any data about why do rocks sink and supertankers float?
Yes, the data dates back to the Greek mathematician, Archimedes. He discovered that when the mass of an object placed on the water is less than the mass of the water it displaces that object will float. Supertankers cover much area with their mass (thus displacing much water), while rocks generally (with the exception, for example, of pumice) do not.
