Because of Einstein's mass energy equivalence equation e = mc2. This say that
the energy of a mass of one kilogram is equal to about 3x1016 joules. That is a
lot of energy, and it is equal to about 21.5 megatons of TNT equivalent explosive
force.
Note: This equation is not saying that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa.
Mass can neither be created nor destroyed, and the same goes for energy. They can only
be moved to different frames of reference. What this equation is saying is that mass and
energy are the same thing, depending on your perspective.
Also note that energy can indeed be converted into mass and vice versa. Solar energy
is converted to mass by plants and mass is lost when energy is released from any
occurrence.
Another perspective, understanding, and opinion:
-- The famous equation is suggesting that mass and energy can be converted
to each other. The two 'Conservation' laws for mass and energy are actually
a single law ... the Conservation of Mass-Energy.
-- Plants do not convert solar energy into mass. Solar energy drives the processes
wherein water, atmospheric gases, and soil minerals are chemically combined to
form plant mass.
-- The questioner's entire problem is the use of the squishy words "small" and "immense".
The energy derived from a sample of mass is not large, small, minuscule, huge, or immense.
It is exactly [ mc2 ].

Why does the energy associated with even small mass is immense?
Energy is related to mass through Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which shows that even small amounts of mass can release a large amount of energy when converted. This is due to the speed of light, c, being a huge number, causing any mass to have a significant amount of energy when converted from mass to energy.
Why is the energy associated with even small mass immense?
Because the strong force that binds the nucleons of the nucleus together is roughly 3 orders of magnitude (1000 times) larger than the electromagnetic force that holds the electrons to the atom. Nuclear energy comes from the strong force, while chemical energy comes from the much weaker electromagnetic force.I won't bother to quote Einstein's well known units conversion equation between energy and mass as it tells you nothing unless you know the amount of mass being converted and you do the math. When the strong force is involved about 3 orders of magnitude more mass converts to energy as when the electromagnetic force is involved. Its just simple proportionality.
Which form of energy is solid?
You shouldn't think of "energy" as something that can be touched, like a solid, liquid, or even gas. Energy is more like the result of certain calculations; it isn't really a "substance", though people sometimes do tend to talk about energy as if it were - for example, energy "flowing" from one place to another.
Why does a small mass have an enormous destructive power in a nuclear explosion?
In a nuclear explosion, a small mass can have enormous destructive power because of the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of radiation and heat. This process creates a chain reaction that releases more energy exponentially, leading to a massive explosion even from a small amount of fissile material.
Why can why can small amount of mass of matter create a large amount of energy?
This is due to the mass-energy equivalence principle, described by the famous equation E=mc^2. Even a small amount of mass contains a large amount of potential energy, which can be released as a significant amount of energy through processes like nuclear reactions or nuclear fission.

What kind of energy seems to be specifically associated with or could even be the cause of sunspot activity?
The magnetic energy seems to be specifically associated with or could even be the cause of sunspots activity.
Why is the energy with even a small mass so immense?
The four fundamental interactions in physics are gravity, electromagnetism, the strong interaction and the weak interaction. Of these, the strong interaction is by far the strongest, thousands of times as strong as the others. When an atom undergoes fission, it is this energy that is being overcome. It is far more powerful than any chemical reaction.
Where is the energy of hydroelectric energy practical?
This is a really clever questionWe can use hydroelectric energy in rivers oceans etc..But you can't use them at small lakes because there will be no energy or power in it because it is even small.
What is the comparative and superlative of immense?
Oh honey, buckle up! The comparative form of "immense" is "more immense," and the superlative form is "most immense." So, if something is already huge, it can be even more immense, and if it's the biggest thing around, it's the most immense. Hope that clears things up for ya!

What causes shortness of breath associated with bloating after eating even small meals?
Sometimes gall bladder attacks cause this
Why is weather control is possible or likely in the immediate future?
People do not fully understand how much energy is involved with even small weather fronts. The entire amount of energy to modify any weather front, by even a small amount is huge! The ability to accumulate and refocus this energy is not currently available and probably will not be in the near future.
What are the precautions associated with the use of borage?
Contains small amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids which may be toxic to the liver even in small amounts. The long-term use in medicinal preparations is not recommended.
