The water hyacinth has a large surface area that lays over the top of the water, which distributes its weight and increases its buoyancy sufficient to keep it floating.

Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.
Soap breaks the surface tension of water. Pepper will only float where there is strong surface tension.
The aluminum foil is less dense than the water which makesit float. Aluminum foil is not less dense than water. It is more dense. The reason that aluminum foil floats is that the surface tension of the water will hold the sheet of foil. If you still think that the aluminum foil is less dense than water, try floating a roll of foil in a bucket.
== Yes because the volume of water displaced by a cherry is enough that the buoyant force of the water is able to counteract the force of the cherry's weight.==
The water hyacinth float on the surface, and are not attached to the bottom.
could be water hyacinth Yes, water Hyacinth's do float on the water surface. Hyacinths have leaves that look like hippo ears. Water lilies also float on the water surface. They have flat leaves that fill the water surface and the flowers poke up among the leaves. Patti Rose www.rosepond.com

Yes, the water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, floats.
Leaf petiole
The leaves of water hyacinth are long and leathery and have wax coating surrounding them. They are made up of long spongy parenchyma tissues that have several air pockets. The air pockets help the leaves to stand erect and float on the surface of water. Arsha 9th
they float
Aquatic plants like water hyacinth and lotus float on water primarily due to their specialized structures, including air-filled cavities in their stems and leaves, which provide buoyancy. These adaptations allow them to remain on the water's surface, maximizing their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, their broad, flat leaves help distribute their weight evenly, further enhancing their ability to float.
Some plants, like water hyacinth, float in water. They have special types of leaves that help them to stay afloat.

Water hyacinth survives by having large inflated sacs in its leaves that help it float on the water surface, allowing it to outcompete other plants for sunlight and nutrients. Its extensive root system also helps anchor it in the water and absorb nutrients. Additionally, its rapid growth rate and ability to reproduce quickly contribute to its survival.
There are many like: water hyacinth, frog bit, fairy moss etc.
