Why are basalt and granite important igneous rock?

Are basaltic igneous rocks lower in density than granitic rocks?
Granite is very much less dense than basalt. This is why the continental crust (mostly composed of granite) floats on Oceanic crust (made mostly of basalt). Granite is 70 % silicon. Where basalt is mainly pyroxene.

Granite.
What is the comparison of granite and basalt in terms of origin and texture which is intrusive and which is extrusive?
