What is the term for the ability to float on water?
This would include the term "buoyancy", which is not limited to objects that float. An objects whose weight is less than the water displaced by it would float. But an object could become suspended below water by the upward force of bouyancy, which acts on all objects in liquid.
'what does density have to do with the ability to float?
the ability to float with density is almost impossible
How does the salinity of the water affect an objects ability to float?
Salt water has salt (!) in it, ego it is denser and takes more weight to displace it; the reason things float in whatever. The denser the liquid, the higher things float
What is flotability?
the ability of an object to float on water. If the object's density is greater than 1 it will sink. If the object's density is less than 1 it will float.

Relate the pressure of the holes to the ability of pumice to float in water?
Many specimens have a high enough porosity that they can float on water until ... This is what produces the enormous rush of high-pressure gas from the vent. ... has a specific gravity of less than one, giving the rock an ability to float on water.
