Plants do not get as cold
If lakes and ponds froze from the bottom up, all things in the water would also freeze solid.
The ice covering the surface - insulates the water from the extremes of temperature, and protects the plants from predators.

The fact that ice floats means that the lake probably will not freeze solid all the way down. There will still be liquid water at the bottom of the lake where the fish can stay alive all winter.
When Frozen water floats on liquid water
The ice that covers a lake actually insulates the deeper water preventing it from freezing too, this allows fish to continue to swim and feed during the winter.
The plants that live in the lake have plenty of water, as long as there is sufficient rainfall to keep the lake full. They will thrive with a plentiful supply of water.
preventing a lake from freezing solid (correct answer)
The Underground Lake is at the Bottom of the Winter Mine. The Winter Mine is only accessible during Winter. It is on an Island in the center of the Lake. In Winter the Lake freezes over and you'll be able to reach the Island.
