This means that the density of ice is lower than that of water. Its significance is that the density of ice decreases when water undergoes freezing. As density is equal to mass per unit volume, thus this means that there is an increase in volume due to expansion during the freezing process.

Why doesn't float an ice cube float in air?

An ice cube will not float in air because air has a lower density than ice, making it less buoyant. Ice is less dense than water, which allows it to float in water due to buoyancy. In air, the buoyant force is not strong enough to support the weight of the ice cube, so it will not float.
