they sink
Well not all organs can float, but lungs can float on water
Because the piece of wood is less dense than the water
The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.
As a general rule, an object will float if its density is less than the fluid it is placed in. Most types of wood have less density than water, so they will float in water.

the lungs
Yes
We have air in the body. Our lungs.
Because the piece of wood is less dense than the water
tissues don't float because they absoarb water, so they sink.

Drift wood
if u made the piece ofmetal hollow it can float unless its density is larger than the water densityANSWER:If you make it displace more water than what makes it sink, it will float, as in a ships hull. If you make pontoons out of it, it will float. If you make an enclosed shape that contains enough air, it will float. There should be less density in the item than the water.

The needle does not break the surface tension (meniscus). Get a small piece of toilet tissue and lay it on a glass of water. lay a needle on the tissue. The tissue will become sodden and sink, leaving the needle floating on the surface tension. Put the smallest drop of washing-up liquid on the water. The surface tension will be destroyed and the needle will sink. Try it.
