Short version: lava has very high density and viscosity. If you fall into lava, you will not sink. You will displace your mass in lava very slowly, so you'll sink in maybe half a centimeter, and then float.
The application to D&D is obvious: get yourself some major protection from fire, and you can *run* over a field of lava, where your non-demonic, non-elemental enemies cannot follow!
