If not
How do you explain the claim
" mass is measure of the amount of matter of a body "

Is such claim maybe false ? ( nope it is true )


Heat cannot create mass. If anything, it can be transformed into mass (if you mean this) but how should that be possible?
If an object absorbs heat it's simply heating up by taking the heat from something else which can for example cause a change in volume, but that doesn't mean that the mass changes.

Also, afaik mass is a property of matter, although I don't know if it's proportional to matter (if you double the matter the mass doubles aswell)
