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 is the invention that uses liquids that are very cold and absorb heat?
That invention is a refrigeration system, which uses a cold liquid refrigerant to absorb heat from its surroundings and keep an interior space cool.
What invention uses cold liquids and absorbs heat?
A refrigerator or air conditioner uses cold liquids (refrigerant) to absorb heat from inside a space and release it outside. The refrigerant evaporates to absorb heat and condenses to release it, allowing the system to cool the space.
What invention uses liquids that are very cold and absorb heat?
conductor
Will tin foil absorb heat?
Tin foil does not absorb heat, but it can reflect heat if it is shiny and smooth. This can help to trap heat in or keep heat out, depending on how it is used.
Can cottonballs absorb heat?
Cotton balls do not absorb heat; instead, they absorb moisture or liquid. When placed near a heat source, such as a flame, they may burn due to their flammable nature rather than absorbing heat.
Does land absorb heat?
yes the ground takes in heat and cold

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
Is endothermic cold or hot?
Endothermic reactions absorb heat from their surroundings, making them feel cold.
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

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.
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 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.
Are jeans warmer than sweatpants?
jeans absorb liquids, such as water, soda, etc.. ice cold water can be absorbed by jeans but no, jeans do not absorb the cold air itself, jeans are cotton, which help hold heat, but not cold. I hope this answers your question. No, jeans don't absorb cold.
Does sand absorb more heat than wood?
Yes, sand absorbs more heat than wood because it has a lower specific heat capacity, meaning it heats up faster for a given amount of energy. This is why sand at the beach feels hotter than a wooden deck on a sunny day.
