For any substance,why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state?

During a change in state the heat energy is used to change the
bonding between the molecules. In the case of melting, added energy is
used to break the bonds between the molecules. In the case of freezing,
energy is subtracted as the molecules bond to one another. These energy
exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding
energy between the molecules.
"If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this
energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the
substance.
The example we will use here is ice melting into water. Immediately after the molecular bonds in the ice are broken the molecules are moving (vibrating) at the same average speed as before, so their average kinetic energy remains the same, and, thus, their Kelvin temperature remains the same.
Hope this helped u :-)

Hey!
It is due to the latent heat as the heat supplied to increase the temperature of the substance is used up to transform the state of matter of the substance hence the temperature stays constant.
