If the object's original density is less than water (sponge, for example) - the density will increase. If the object's original density is greater than that of water (though I cannot think of anything that fits that category that is porous enough to absorb water), the density will decrease.
When objects are placed in water, they can sink, float, or stay suspended depending on their density and the density of the water. Objects that are denser than water will sink, objects that are less dense will float, and objects with a similar density may stay suspended in the water.
Objects float in water if they have a density lower than water, while objects sink if they have a density higher than water. Density is a measure of how much mass per unit volume an object has. This is why objects like wood and plastic, which have lower density than water, tend to float, while objects like metal, which have higher density, tend to sink.
Objects sink in water when their density is greater than the density of water. This means that the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force exerted by the water, causing it to displace water as it sinks.
If a block of wood floats in water, it means that the density of the wood is less than the density of water. This is because objects with a lower density than water will float, while objects with a higher density will sink.
Objects that are less dense than water will float on it, such as wood, plastic, cork, and ice. Objects that are more dense than water will sink, such as metals like iron and steel, rocks, and most plastics. The buoyancy of an object is determined by its density compared to the density of water.

The lower an objects density the less likely it is to sink in water. Objects with a higher density than water will sink if placed in it while objects with a lower density than water will float if placed in it.
Objects sink when the density of the object is more than that of the water.
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
What happens is that you can see that the density of a nail is more than the density of water and that the density of a cork is less than that of water.
No, an aquamarine with a density of 2.63 g/cm^3 would sink in water, as the density of water is 1 g/cm^3. Objects with a density greater than that of water will sink, while objects with a density less than that of water will float.
It's because of the density of the object; for example wood floats in water because its density is less then the density of water, and metal sinks because its density is more then the density of the water.
