what is dry ice . why it is called so

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. It is primarily used to cool food products at lower temperature than what water ice can provide.

 It is called dry ice because it sublimes and doesn't leave any residue i.e. changes from solid to gaseous state without turning to liquid.

Dry ice is the common name for the solid form of carbon dioxide
It's called dry ice because it doesn't melt into a wet liquid. Dry ice sublimates, which means it goes from its solid form directly to its gaseous form. Since it's never wet, it must be dry!
