Explanation:

Latent heat is the heat absorbed or released during a phase change without a change in temperature. When a solid melts (endothermic) or a liquid freezes (exothermic), the heat involved is specifically called the latent heat of fusion. This term is used to describe the energy associated with the solid - liquid phase transition.

Answer:

fusion
