There is air between the inside and outside of the flask.

The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
Using vacuum as an insulator avoids heat loss by conduction. Heat transfer is minimised by reflective silver surfaces that are applied to the flask. This prevents thermal radiation from entering and escaping the flask.
A vacuum between two glass sheets will greatly reduce heat loss through convection, and also through conduction. The fact that the glass is coated (to convert it to a mirror) also reduces the loss by radiation.
There are many ways this is done. It can be done by having a double walled thermos with either air, an insulator, or a vacuum between. A vacuum will prevent all conduction except where the two walls touch but requires stronger materials.

This reduces heat transport through conduction and convection.
Yes. The thermos flask can reduce the amount of heat travelling from the surroundings to the cold water
To reduce heat loss by thermal radiation.
Thermos flask is a thermos container used to store liquids like any hot drink. The liquid added to thermos flask will retain the temperature even after some time irrespective of external temperatures.
There is a dead air space between the liner of the thermos and the outside. This space acts as insulation preventing conduction. In a really good thermos, or Dewar flask, the space is actually a vacuum. Vacuum is an even better insulator than air is, since heat doesn't conduct across a vacuum at all.

it consists a double walled glass vessel having a vaccum between the walls.both these walls are silvered on the vaccum side.no heat can enter or leave the inner flask by convection oor conduction across vaccum.a small amount of heat can be gained by the flask through by radiation but the silver surface to control radiant heat and reduce it to a minimum

It is especially designed to reduce heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. A vacuum between two layers reduces the heat transfer through conduction and convection; the fact that the surfaces are mirror-coated also reduces losses through radiation.
