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.

No, cold does not absorb heat. Cold is the absence of heat or a lower temperature compared to a warmer object. Heat moves from warmer objects to colder objects in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium.
