The key detail,.water is more dense than cooking oils, as long as it’s still a liquid or solid.

That becomes a problem when the oil is hot: the liquid sinks to the bottom as it’s heated up, but once it evaporates, it rapidly rises to the top of the oil. In doing so, it’s pushing hot oil out of the way, which at best creates a huge mess.
