There is more than one kind of foam. Styrofoam is a solid mixed with gas. Soap suds are made of a liquid mixed with gas. I would call foam, in technical terms, a composite material. It's made of more than one thing.

No, foam consists of bubbles of gas trapped in a liquid or solid.

A very fine foam may be considered a colloid.

By definition foam (bubbles) made of the liquid on which it is floating + a lighter gas, will always float on that liquid.

Foam is a substance that consists of two states of matter: a gas and a liquid or solid. The liquid or solid traps the gas inside.

Similarly, volcanic rock which is lightweight, has plenty of gas bubbles throughout. Also there are more technologically advanced solid foams used in industry which are made of metals like aluminum, steel or even non metals like solid carbon. Therefore, foam can either a solid or a liquid.
