It will float and get darker in it's color
When wood is placed in mercury, nothing significant will happen as mercury is a relatively inert metal and will not react with the wood. The wood will simply float on the surface of the mercury due to the density difference between the two materials.
because the wood absorbs the water and its size increases the water enters the wood through small pores
it will die
The density of the wood would not be affected by being placed in water. However, the wood itself, with a density of about 0.77 gm/cm3 , would float.
Pine wood sinks in water because it is denser than water. The wood's cellular structure and composition cause it to have a higher overall density, resulting in it sinking when placed in water.

I will explode!!
increase
Yes they can as they are light and displace little water. However, when the water does penetrate the wood fibres it can cause the wood to sink
