Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Whether a material will float on water or not is decided by its density. If the density of the object is relatively lower than the water, then it will float; otherwise, it will sink. A piece of wood has a lesser density than water, which makes it capable of floating. Hence, it is true that a piece of wood floats over water.
