Things do not decay in amber primarily due to its unique chemical composition and the conditions under which it forms. Amber is fossilized tree resin that creates an airtight seal around trapped organisms, preventing exposure to oxygen and moisture, both of which are essential for microbial decay. Additionally, the resin's antibacterial and antifungal properties inhibit the growth of decomposing microorganisms. This results in remarkable preservation of biological material, such as insects and plant matter, for millions of years.
