Solution
Freezing:
Freezing is a process in which a liquid is solidified into a solid phase.
So when water is solidified into ice, this process is known as Freezing.
During freezing, the energy is gained by the surrounding molecules as water loses its energy.
Thus, in this process, the heat is liberated.
“Solidification is a process in which atoms are converted into an ordered solid-state from a liquid disordered state.”
"The latent heat of solidification is the amount of heat a solid substance needs to change its phase from liquid phase to solid phase at a constant temperature."
Hence, When water solidifies to ice, then heat is liberated.
