Answer
The change from solid state to liquid state on heating at a fixed temperature is called melting.
The temperature at which a solid changes into liquid without further increase in temperature is called the melting point of the solid.
Example — Ice (solid) at 0°C melts to form water (liquid) at 0°C by absorbing heat.
