Verified answer

When an apple rots, it's more of a chemical change. Sure, you can SEE the change in it..but the look, is not the actual change.

It is a chemical change, catalysed by an organism.

The apple wouldn't rot, if there were no chemical change.

That's part of it but the primary decay is by micro-organisms feeding on it, so yes, it is by chemical changes.
