Sort of.
In terms of physics, technically there is no such thing as cold. There is only heat, which is than measured on a scale to show how much heat is present.
Heat will always transfer to something that has less heat than its present location.
So technically no, cold does not absorb heat because cold is a perspective and not something that actually exists.. However, things that have less heat do absorb heat from things with more heat than itself.
Cold is an abstract non physics word used to describe things with small amounts of heat, while in reality there is technically at least some measurable amount of heat if compared to true absolute 0 heat.

What invention uses liquids that are very cold and absorb heat?
conductor
Which surfaces absorb heat?
All surfaces absorb some heat.
How does a conductor absorb heat?
A conductor does not absorb heat, it conducts heat so that the heat is evenly dispersed. It seems like it absorbs heat but it transfers heat to somewhere else.
Does land absorb heat?
yes the ground takes in heat and cold
What is the invention that uses liquids that are very cold and absorb heat?

Can a heat is absorbed by cold bodies?
NO because heat of cooler body is already low it is expected that it will absorb heat
Which invention uses liquids that are very cold and absorb heat?
Cold packs, for bruises are one invention.
Does alcohol absorb cold?
No. Its evaporation uses heat energy and causes it to cool.
How does a snake keep warmblooded?
cold blooded reptiles absorb heat from the sun
Does ammonium nitrate absorb heat?
yes when disolved in water. It is in cold packs.
Is iron and steel a conductor of cold?
Since cold is the absence of heat, this begs the question whether anything "conducts cold". Steel racks in a freezer feel cold since they absorb heat from your hand; the "cold" isn't moving into your hand, you're losing heat.
How do snakes get warmth?
The have no way of generating their own body-heat (hence the term cold-blooded) - they absorb heat from their surroundings.
Does an ice cube in your drink release cold particles into your drink or absorb the heat from your drink?
it absorbs it. there is no such thing as cold energy, and even less so "cold particles," only heat flow.
How is the absorption of heat is important to aqauatic organisms?
It is important for organisms that live in the deep ocean to absorb heat, since it is very cold in that region of the ocean. Without the heat, they would die. Some organisms absorb heat from ocean vents, which provide a large amount of heat.
Are jeans warmer than sweatpants?
