Ice is less dense than water so it floats on water. This is useful because it insulates the remainder of the water but also means that aquatic life will not die as they would if water froze upwards.

Why does a pond freeze from the bottom?

A pond freezes from the bottom because water is most dense at around 4 degrees Celsius. When the top layer of water cools and freezes, it becomes less dense and remains on top, insulating the warmer water below. This allows the colder water to continue freezing from the bottom up.

How does anomalous expansion of water help aquatic organisms in cold climate?

Aquatic life is benefited by the anomalous expansion of water because the water freezes top to bottom, not bottom to top. If it froze bottom to top, then the aquatic life would be pushed up, up, up, towards the surface of the water. Since it goes top to bottom, and the water at the bottom remains at 277K, the Aquatic life can survive there.
