Yes, because glacial ice is still moving inside the glacier even if the glacier's front is not advancing.
It is proven that this is called glacier plucking or just plucking.
The base of the glacier, where it is in contact with the rocks beneath it.
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
Valley glaciers are typically advancing when their terminus is pushing forward, causing the glacier to grow in size. Conversely, they are retreating if the terminus is melting or receding, leading to a decrease in glacier size. Monitoring changes in the glacier front position over time can help determine if it is advancing or retreating.
Plucking, a glacial erosion process, occurs when a glacier moves over bedrock and exerts pressure, causing pieces of the rock to break away and become embedded in the ice. This process can lead to the formation of distinct landforms, such as U-shaped valleys and cirques. As the glacier continues to advance, it transports these rock fragments, contributing to further erosion and shaping the landscape. Ultimately, plucking plays a crucial role in the dynamic interplay between glaciers and the underlying geology.

Plucking
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
Plucking and Abrasion.
Plucking erosion is a glacial process where meltwater penetrates cracks in a glacier and freezes, causing the ice to expand and pull rock fragments from the bedrock beneath the glacier. This plucking action allows the glacier to transport the rock debris as it flows, contributing to the erosion and shaping of the landscape.

Plucking is a form of glacial erosion where a glacier will pick up and carry pieces of bedrock as it moves. This process occurs when meltwater at the base of the glacier freezes onto the rock, and as the glacier moves, it pulls these frozen rock pieces along, causing erosion. Plucking can result in the removal and transportation of large rock fragments by glaciers.
The basal sliding zone
i guess it makes the glacier bigger because it's picking up surface materials?
