A majority of rotting in food is caused by microbes. It is important to understand that most rotting organisms are not harmful to humans, they only make the food taste bad, but there are harmful molds and bacteria that do not rot the food. Therefore, food that doesn't smell, look, or taste spoiled could be harmful, and rotten food may just taste bad. This doesn't mean anyone should consume rotten food, because the likelihood of harmful organisms increases as the food gets older and more decomposed.
ANS2:Food deterioration begins with the breakdown of the cellular tissue by enzymatic action that allows the growth of microbes. They are organisms that need food to live just like we do. Therefore, they feed off of foods such as bread, lettuce, etc . . . most any food, really.Bacteria and germs have an opportunity to settle on the left out food. They will try and invade the food and this causes rotting.

Yes, rotting food can cause maggots to hatch in a refrigerator if the conditions are right. Flies can lay eggs on decomposing food, and if the temperature is warm enough and the food remains in the fridge for an extended period, those eggs can hatch into maggots. While refrigeration slows down the decay process and can deter fly activity, it doesn't completely prevent it if the food is already infested before being stored. Regularly cleaning and checking food can help prevent this issue.
