Some bacteria, like many Bacilllus species, form endospores when they run out of food. Endospores are resistant to heat, dessication, weak acid, etc.

Why does food rot when it is left out in the open?

It is due to the bacteria and other miniature germs present in the air getting interaction with the food molecules. When there is enough moisture, either on or in the food, bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers can survive on the food. Once they do, the bacteria consume the food, using it up and replacing it with their waste products. Some of these taste bad, and/or make you sick. That is why you can get food poisoning, even if you cook the spoiled food, because heat doesn't destroy the toxins left behind by the bacteria.
