Antifreeze contains chemicals which have a much lower freeze temperature than just water. That resists freezing when the vehicle is not being operated. During operation, when coolant cycles through the system, heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant... this heats up the coolant... that heat is then exchanged to the air which blows through the radiator fins.
