Because it becomes less dense as it gets hotter. Less dense=lighter and therefore rises. Just like the wax in a lava lamp.

Molten rock material that flows over the Earth's surface is called lava. Lava is typically generated during a volcanic eruption and can create new landforms such as lava fields, volcanic cones, and lava tubes as it cools and solidifies.

When molten material from beneath the Earth's surface cools but doesn't harden, it forms a type of rock called volcanic glass, or obsidian. Obsidian is a black, glassy rock formed from rapidly cooled lava, which prevents the growth of mineral crystals typically found in other types of rock.
