Electromagnetic waves do produce heat. It depends a bit on the frequency and of course the strength of them as to how much heat that is produced. It also depends on what medium the waves travel through.

Example:

A microwave oven heats up the food by interacting with water molecules, making them vibrate. This vibration causes friction and friction turns into heat. This is done via electromagnetic waves.

These waves are not absorbed by glass or pottery, hence they stay cold.

What is the relationship between electromagnetic energy density and the propagation of electromagnetic waves?

The electromagnetic energy density is the amount of energy carried by electromagnetic waves in a given space. The propagation of electromagnetic waves is the movement of these waves through a medium or vacuum. The energy density affects how the waves propagate, as higher energy density can lead to stronger and faster propagation of electromagnetic waves.
