If water isn't wet, then what is freeze drying

As Lumi moved south, she entered an area where greenery was abundant. It was astounding to see such rich colors. Nearly all of the trees, a vast forest, were caught below the ice. Luminosa treaded softly, in case somehow the trees had fallen in. It would be nice, though, wouldn't it - to be frozen among such brilliantly preserved trees? The doe found a small patch of greenery above the snow and munched it thoughtfully. She wondered if the trees knew they were frozen or if it would be like being in a deep slumber. Some animals also found themselves in such a state during cold times, so Lumi naturally thought perhaps the trees were the same.
