A stone is more dense and heavier than water, so it sinks.
If you were to hollow out the top of the stone into a shape like a bowl, it would then be mostly filled with air, and might float. That is the same idea as with boats - even steel boats float if they are hollowed out to where they are light enough. I have even seen competitions to see who can build the best concrete boat.
A stone will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water. This means that the weight of the stone is heavier than the weight of the displaced water, causing it to sink.
Pumice is a type of stone that floats on water due to its high porosity and low density.
It is more dense than water, and [presumably] it is not shaped in such a way that all of its weight can be displaced before the stone submerges.
it's because the density may be greater than the body of water that is why the stone sink...
A stone sinks in water because it is denser than water, causing it to displace the water it occupies and ultimately sink. A ship, on the other hand, is designed to have a shape that displaces enough water to create buoyancy, allowing it to float on the surface rather than sink.

Pumice, a volcanic stone, does not sink in water.There is one type of stone that won't SINK in water.....pumice.
Pumice stone does not sink in water unless it has been floating for many years.

pumice (a volcanic rock)
A pumice stone is light weight due to numerous trapped gas bubbles that can cause it to float on water.
