Ice melts because the room temperature changes making the ice hotter and agitating the molecules inside it. As they are agitated by heat, they become more dense and the ice becomes more liquid, until it melts.

Because heat always flows to a colder object, and ice is made of water, which turns back into a liquid state when it is heated above the freeze point.
