The phospholipid heads are hydrophillic and prefer the water while the tails are hydrophobic and are shielded from the water.
Because the heads are hydrophobic, meaning that they repel the water.
The polar (hydrophilic) head is a result of the phosphate group, which happens to be polar. The non-polar (hydrophobic) tails are the fatty acid chains.

Phospholipids are made of two parts: the phosphate and the lipid. In this setup, the phosphate is the half that is polar, and thus the part that interacts with water.

The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.

Calcium Phosphate is very polar because it is an ionic compound.
