Water becomes more DENSE as it Cools....until it Freezes. At the Freezing Point water expands and becomes less Dense...as ICE. That is why ICE Floats in liquid water.

As to its Purpose...can't give a specific answer for that using Pure water. The Principle is used in many water HEATING devices. The Heating Element is at the bottom of a Water Heater because the cold water sinks and stays at the bottom. That is why the Cold water inlet has a long tube from the top connector to the bottom of the tank...it keeps down the mixing of already Heated water with the Cold input water.
