No. Solids can't undergo convection, the reason is that convection works because moving molecules which are hotter and faster have a lower density and therefore rise to the surface. With a solid now, the molecules don't move they can only vibrate.

Therefore solids conduct.

No. Solids can't undergo convection,

Step-by-step explanation:

Convection is heat removal by movement hot matter as exposed to cold matter bure to density differences in the expression of the gravity field. or heat transfer within moving currents.Convection works because hotter quicker moving molecules have a lower frequency and consequently rise to the surface. In a solid the molecules can't move corresponding to each other they can only vibrate
