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.
Because that piece of charcoal is lighter that the water, so it floats.
Objects that are less dense than water will float on fresh water. Common examples include wood, certain plastics, and some fruits like apples. Additionally, ice floats on fresh water due to its lower density compared to liquid water. The principle of buoyancy, described by Archimedes, explains why these materials can remain on the surface.
The "pepper and soap" trick demonstrates the concept of surface tension in liquids. When pepper is sprinkled on the surface of water, it floats due to the water's surface tension. Adding soap disrupts this tension, causing the water molecules to move apart and the pepper to quickly disperse away from the soap, illustrating how surfactants can alter surface tension and affect the behavior of liquids.
Soil floats on water!
Yes, the water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, floats.
The water hyacinth float on the surface, and are not attached to the bottom.

there is an expanded leaf stalk that has an air inside and serves as a float -lawrence 11 y/o
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

Cork floats in water because it is less dense than water. Its buoyant property allows it to stay afloat on the water's surface.
It floats or connects to rocks by the surface.
Fat floats on water, but not on the surface of the troposphere.
