What happens to the cockroach when it is put in the water?

When a cockroach is placed in water, it can initially swim and hold its breath for a short time due to its ability to trap air around its body. However, if submerged for an extended period, it will eventually drown because it cannot extract oxygen from the water. Cockroaches can survive without food for weeks, but they cannot survive long without access to air.
