As the ice has to melt, and for melting it will absorb latent heat of fusion also from surrounding​.

becbagksh: Sorry this answer didnt help me
Surya742: we are comparing the cooling effectiveness of ice and water
becbagksh: But thanks for trying
Surya742: and anybody can cool by absorbing heat
Surya742: so ice at 0 deg celcius will absorb extra heat while it will melt than the water at 0 deg celcius
becbagksh: Thanks

Ice is more effective in cooling a substance then water at the same temp. because when we use ice it absorbs the latent heat of fusion from the object and melts and because heat is absorbed from the object it feels cool. but in the case of water it is already in liquid state so it will not absorb any latent heat of fusion hence we do not feel much cool as compared to ice.

I hope it helps you.
