The structure of wood is not even, the different seasonal conditions as the tree grows means that some parts of the wood structure are more dense than other parts. This means that as moisture builds up in wood, it effects some areas of the wood more than others, causing more expansion in the cells that are less dense. This uneven expansion throughout the wood may then go on to cause warping and bowing in the wood as well overall expansion due to the water retention.
When a wood block is placed in salt water, the wood will absorb some of the water through its pores, causing it to swell. The salt in the water may also accelerate the degradation of the wood by promoting the growth of microorganisms that can cause rot. Over time, the wood may become weaker and less stable.

Yes water does absorb into wood!
A piece of wood floats in water because wood has a lower density than water. This means that the weight of the water displaced by the wood is greater than the weight of the wood itself, causing it to float.

Distorted is a verb (past tense of distort) and an adjective (a distorted point of view).
Whether a piece of wood floats or sinks in water depends on the density of the wood. If the wood has a lower density than water, it will float. If it is denser than water, it will sink. Wood is usually less dense than water, so it typically floats.
