I cannot be burned in fire nor drowned in water. What am I?

Why this works

This riddle plays with the properties of ice in a clever way. While ice can't be literally burned in fire or drowned in water, it can melt when exposed to heat, which gives the illusion that it "cannot be burned." Similarly, ice floats on water, so it doesn't get submerged or "drowned." The riddle invites you to think beyond the straightforward meanings of "burned" and "drowned," leading you to the unique state of ice as the answer.
