As a very basic answer, the energy from the heat causes the atoms to move. As they move faster and faster, they spread apart further and further, causing solids to become liquids and liquids to become gasses. In the same sense, as matter cools, the atoms slow down and condense back into liquids and solids.

The state of matter depends on the temperature (liquid, solid, gas, plasma).

That would be a solid. Solids expand and contract with temperature. The only thing that doesn't change with temperature would be degenerate matter such as neutronium.

That will not happen unless matter is undergoing a phase change and the temperature you are measuring is that of the matter undergoing the phase change.
