Here's why:
* Vesicular: Pumice is characterized by numerous gas bubbles (vesicles) trapped within the rock as it cooled rapidly. This gives it a very porous and lightweight structure.
* Glassy: Pumice forms when lava cools so quickly that mineral crystals don't have time to form. This results in a glassy texture.
