a sponge and a bar of soap occupy the same amount of space, but the soap is much more dense than the sponge

Yes, that's correct.  That's a big part of the reason why
the soap floats in water and the sponge sinks in it.
The sponge floats whereas the soap falls. The particles in the soap are tightly packed so it sinks straight to the bottom, the insides of a soap are also NOT hollow therefore it does not float. A sponge can tale in water while still having air pockets which make it float. As you can see, a sponge is also lighter than a soap.
