Why does a rock has to sink?

A rock sinks because it is not buoyant. Buoyancy is whether or not something floats in water. There are three levels of buoyancy; buoyant, neutrally buoyant, and not buoyant. When something is buoyant, that means it has a lower density than water, causing it to float. When something is neutrally buoyant, that means it has roughly the same density as water, causing it to float half way between the bottom and the surface. Finally, when something is not buoyant (like a rock), that means that it has a higher density than water, causing it to sink to the bottom.
