The plants/trees have to be wet before the temperatures dip below
0 C. Although it takes only one calorie to raise a gram of water it
takes 80 calories for 1 g of ice at 0 C to melt into 1 g of water at
0 C. This is called the latent heat of fusion. So the water on wet
leaves will protect the leaves against temperatures slightly below
zero for some time as each gram of water will give up 80 calories
before turning into ice which protects the leaves which are under a
film of water.

There is a related phenomenon called the latent heat of vaporization
which is the amount of energy required for a liquid to turn to a gas
For water its 540 calories per gram.

Latent heat arises from the work required to overcome the forces
that bind atoms or molecules in a material.
