What does the term plucking mean?

Water enters cracks in the bedrock, freezes and expands, shattering the rock.

Rocks carried by the glacier scrape against the bed, wearing it away.

Meltwater freezes the glacier to the bedrock, and as the ice moves, it tears chunks of rock away.

Rocks carried by a glacier collide with one another, breaking down into smaller, rounder fragments.
