Because ice can absorb latent heat of fusion as well as heat energy

Because water at 0℃ have greater latent heat than ice at 0℃.

Ruhi221: i think in place of water there will be ice right??
themarvel: no after absorbing latent heat ice converted into water but temperature remains same which is 0℃.so water at 0℃ have greater latent heat than ice.
Ruhi221: and for that ice gives more cooling effect than water at 0℃
themarvel: yeah.
Ruhi221: a little question . .is it because of the fact that water has high specific heat capacity so its stores more heat and is unable to cool things very easily at zero degree celsius that is why we use ice because it has low specific heat which means that it stores less heat inside it.
Ruhi221: please reply
themarvel: not at all.the main fact is that if u touch ice than ice absorb heat from ur hand as latent heat and gets converted into water.so,u feel more cooling effect other than water.
Ruhi221: ok....
