Ice is the solid form of water, it has a melting point of zero degree Celsius where it changes its state form solid to liquid.
However, Dry ice which is solidified Carbon dioxide, does not have any melting point. It directly changes from solid to gas. Hence instead of melting, sublimation of dry ice occur.
