Why are the high temptress produced by the explosion of a fission bomb necessary fusion in a thermonuclear device?

The high temperatures produced by the explosion of a fission bomb are necessary for initiating the fusion reaction in a thermonuclear device because fusion reactions require extremely high temperatures and pressures to overcome the repulsive forces between positively charged nuclei. The fission explosion provides the energy needed to achieve these conditions, thereby allowing the fusion reaction to take place.
