Pumice floats on water. It is because it is made out of lava which had bubbles left inside it. The bubbles has air trapped in it. These bubbles allow pumice to float on water.

Why does a stone sink while a boat floats?

A stone sinks because it is denser than water, so the upward buoyant force is not enough to support its weight. A boat floats because its shape and materials displace enough water to create an upward buoyant force that is greater than its weight, allowing it to stay afloat on the water.

Why pumice stone doesnot sink in water?

In short, pumice is less dense than water, so it floats. During the formation of pumice stone, air bubbles are incorporated into the stone itself. These air pockets make the overall mass of the stone much lower than you'd expect, and work like small floatation devices when the stone is placed in water.
