Ice forms at 0 C, and can then be cooled further.

Yes Ice can be lowered in temperature to below 0 deg Cel. Adding salt will actually lower the freezing point of water to cause it to freeze at temps as low as 10 below (even farther sometimes). Also if one puts a block of ice on a surface colder than 0, say on a block of Carbon dioxide the temperature can lower to at least 30 below 0 Cel. Most freezers at home are set to about -5 degrees and the ice usually takes on the temp of its environment, ever wonder why it takes a block or cube of ice a few minutes before it starts melting, it has to warm up first.

surely temp of ice can fall below 0 degree celsius . For example take a cube of ice and add salt to it. measure the temperature an you will see it is less than 0 c. that is the principle used while transporting fish. fishes are stored in ice mixed with salt so that they do not rot

Yes. Ice is merely water in its solid state. Zero Celsius is merely the threshold at which water goes from liquid to solid (or vice versa, depending on which direction the temperature is going). That means water can go below 0 degrees, theoretically all the way down to Absolute Zero (-273 Celsius); it will just be in the solid state as long as that's the case.

The temperature of ice can fall below 0 degrees under normal conditions. The lattice structure of ice will condense thus minimizing the energy in the molecules, thus reducing temperature.

yes. it can fall about -2 or -12 deg Celsius and even -20 if u have a very nice freezer

I'll bet he meant to ask if water can get below 0. And yes it can a few degrees if it's pure and nothing disturbs it.

yes, water becomes ice once it reaches 0 degrees, from there it can release more heat and cool even more until it reaches around -273 celcius because that is absolute zero

minus 40 is nothing to a large food freezer

Everything is theoretically capable of achieving absolute zero including ice.
