It becomes snow
Ice floats because it is less dense than water. When water freezes, it creates a crystal lattice that occupies more volume than the water did. Because it is less dense, ice is displaced by water (and floats on top). If enough ice is forced below the surface by its weight, you can have ice on top and ice below (as in an iceberg).
If it freezes just a little it becomes cold water, but if it freezes more it becomes ice.

The water freezes into ice. In the process of freezing, liquid water expands 15% to form the crystalline structure of ice. So if your cup isn't sturdy, it's possible that the ice will shatter your cup. If your car's radiator has water instead of the proper mix of water and antifreeze, the ice crystals can crack your engine block and destroy the engine. Water freezing into ice is a VERY powerful force.

the water freezes and forms tiny, flakey ice crystals
Ice crystals are formed when the temperature falls below the dew point. The condensation nuclei (microscopic water droplets) then freeze and become ice crystals.
The cloud streak consist of ice crystals. At the high altitude at nearly 38 degrees celsius where water freezes at 0 degrees, the water vapour freezes leaving th ice crystals behind.
supercooled water freezes around ice nucleus or water vapor changes to ice crystals
When the dew point is below freezing, the liquid water may change directly into ice crystals.

Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
it is water in a cloud which is
When the dew point is below freezing, the liquid water may change directly into ice crystals.
This is because at those high altitudes, the air is too cold for water to stay as water, so the rising water vapor freezes into ice crystals, to form cirrus clouds, which are wispy because of ice.
