The change in state would be known as melting.
Just for your information:
Solid to Liquid = Melting
Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling
Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation
Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation
Liquid to Solid = Freezing
Gaseous to Solid = Deposition
When a solid changes into a liquid, it is called the melting point.
Cooling point,or Condensation Point.
This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing; it is a physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.
There are three states of matter that exist on earth: solids, liquids and gasses. When matter goes from a solid state to a liquid, that matter is said to have melted. From liquid to gas it is called vaporizing. From a gas to a liquid is condensation and from liquid to solid is freezing.
is when the solid is hard then the word is Melting to change to liquid
Solid
It is called "melting". It means that when a solid gets so hot, by the increase in Kinetic Energy that it contains, the atoms move around so much that the state of matter changes to a liquid, that is to say it undergoes a change of state. Further heating will change the liquid to a gas - another change of state.

Freezing
the matter can change into liquid, solid and gas.
Condensation (gas to liquid or solid or liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid or solid to gas), sublimation (solid to gas), solidification (liquid to solid), or melting (solid to liquid).

a phase change: solid to liquid: melting liquid to solid: freezing liquid to gas: vaporization gas to liquid: condensation solid to gas: sublimation gas to solid: deposition
Because melting is a change of state: from solid to liquid.
Freezing/solidification
Melting.
The process is melting.
