Hey there!
________________________________________________________________
Yes, Friction is reduced when it is converted to rolling from Sliding.
----->As we know,friction is directly dependent on Area of contact. While a body slides, there is large area of contact and hence friction is more.
----> Here we can observe Sliding friction.
-------> Now the same body is made to roll. There will be comparatively less surface area in contact. Hence a less friction.
--------> In this case, we observe that friction offered is Rolling friction.
So, Rolling friction < Sliding friction.
