Fat is less dense than water, while muscle and bone are more dense. A person with a higher fat percentage will displace his weight with less of his volume submerged, so he will float higher.

This is easy. Muscle does not float. If the person has body fat the person will float, the more fat the better the person floats. The less fat, the less a person floats.

There is no biological reason that girls float better than boys. Factors that can affect buoyancy include body fat percentage, muscle mass, and lung capacity rather than gender. It may vary from person to person based on these factors, rather than a generalization based on gender.

Why do muscles weigh more than fat?
Fat has less density than muscles, so fat will seem to weigh less than muscle. However, muscle is far better for the body than fat. Soit is always worth it to strength train and build up muscle.
Why is it better to have a higher percentage of body fat when playing water polo?
fat has more oil and therefore floats better than muscle allowing them to float around better in playing because alot of the time they are just wading guarding or blocking their opponents. Also because they are blocking the ball they need to take up more space. That is just my guess. Think of football linemen.
