Sinking: When a body is let into a liquid, and if the density of that body is greater than the density of that liquid, then the body gets fully immersed inside that liquid and reaches the bottom most surface of the liquid container. This process is called sinking of a body. 
 
Floating: This process is exactly the opposite of sinking. When the density of the body that is let into a liquid is less than the density of that liquid, then the body tends to float on the surface of the liquid. This process is called floating of a body.
 
Both the phenomenon are directly dependent on the relationship of the densities of the body and the liquid in which that body is being treated with.
