The bottom of the ocean doesn't freeze because water is a good insulator and the Earth's core heat keeps the ocean water from freezing.

Why doesnt Antarctic bottom water freeze?

From its Wikipedia page: "Being the densest water mass of the World Ocean, AABW is found to occupy the depth range below 4000 m of all ocean basins that have a connection to the Southern Ocean at that level." The Southern Ocean freezes at about a depth of eight to 12 feet during the winter months, which is not deep enough to freeze the bottom water.


Why does it freeze at the bottom of the ocean?

At the bottom of the ocean, where pressures are high and temperatures are near freezing, seawater can freeze because of a phenomenon called pressure freezing. Due to the extreme pressure, seawater can reach a temperature below its normal freezing point before it actually freezes. This can create brinicles, which are icicle-like structures that form undersea.
