When a liquid is cooled, its temperature decreases until it begins to freeze. At this point the temperature stops decreasing, because the energy being removed comes from the phase change from liquid to solid and not from changes in the temperature. Once it is completely frozen, the temperature will begin to drop again.

Note that this is only true for pure substances like water. Other substances often freeze over a range of temperatures instead of at a single "freezing point". The freezing of these substances is more complicated.

Melting and freezing?

Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid due to an increase in temperature, while freezing is the opposite process where a liquid turns into a solid due to a decrease in temperature. Both melting and freezing involve changes in the physical state of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
