Rotting occurs due to the decomposition of organic matter, primarily driven by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These organisms break down complex organic materials into simpler substances, releasing enzymes that facilitate the process. Factors like moisture, temperature, and the presence of oxygen significantly influence the rate of rotting. As the material decomposes, it can release gases and odors, contributing to the characteristic smell of decay.
