Hello friend,
It is the amount of heat energy that is required to change a solid of 1 kg into liquid state at its melting point at atmospheric pressure is known as latent heat of fusion.
Hope it helps.

Hi friend!
Latent heat is defined as hidden heat. Latent heat of fusion is amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid into its liquid state without any rise in temperature is known as latent heat of fusion.
Melting- The ice melts at 0°C as long as ice is not melted. The heat energy supplied is absorbed by the particles and their kinetic energy increases and as a result the temperature rises. As soon as the ice starts melting, the heat supplied is used to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles so the state changes from solid to liquid. Since, the kinetic energy of particles does not increase, there is no rise in temperature. This heat energy is known as latent heat of fusion.
