Usually, cellular damage and dessication.
Ice crystals forming are like tiny spears which pierce through cell membranes and cause extensive damage. At the same time, the freezing water causes osmotic imbalance, pulling water out of the cells and shriveling them.
Some plant tissues combat freezing by creating various organic forms of antifreeze in their cells.
Did you know even some amphibians do this? Wood frogs, for example.

some smaller organisms can be frozen and will spring to life again when thawed
and many bulbs will survive frost,as seeds do
