Sulphuric acid has an extreme attraction for water, and it can pull the hydrogen and oxygen (the component atoms of water) out of a material such as cellulose, which is primarily what wood is made of, and this leaves behind carbon, which is, of course, black. It is equivalent to charring in a fire.
