Yes it's actually easier to split wood when it frozen because the wood is brittle and splits easily.

Some woods, normally the soft woods such as pine can and do absorb huge amounts of water . When frozen the moisture expands formaing ice and the fibres are forced apart. causing splitting. Where harder woods are used these have tighter fibres and restrict the amount of water absorbed but they can split depending on the woods exteria condition, and anount of water absorbed over time

Is it easier to split green wood than dry wood?

Dry wood is usually easier, but wood will dry much faster when split. If you have the time to let large sections dry first, it will be easier to split, but it may take a year to dry. Wood that is split and stacked to allow air to circulate will be dry and ready to burn in about 5 months.

Which contains more wood a cord of split wood or a cord of rounds?

In general, the cord of split wood will have a greater actual volume of wood than the rounds, provided the rounds are good sized. Look at the cord from the end and you'll see the split wood "packs more tightly" than the rounds. That's a math thing, but it is straight up valid in the real world. Start looking at stuff like that and it will prove out. I disagree. I have bought round firewood cut to 16" lengths and then split it and ended up with a lot more than a cord when it was repiled. One can pile round cut wood tighter than split firewood. I also used to sell cut firewood and wood never sell round wood [other than in 8' lengths] as too much is lost and there is a lower profit margin.
