ANSWER:The root words water and log are a main part of the answer. When wood is immersed in water, the water over time saturates the normally dry cells in the wood making it sink. Some types of wood are impervious to this type of phenomenom because their cells are so dense water cannot permeate the cells. Cedar, cypress and ironwood are a few examples. They will sink in water because of their original density is greater than the surrounding water.
