When a person uses an iron to remove wrinkles from a shirt why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?

Heat travels from the iron to the shirt through a process called conduction. The iron is hotter than the shirt, so heat naturally flows from the higher temperature object to the lower temperature object. As the hot iron comes into contact with the shirt, the molecules in the shirt absorb the heat energy, causing them to move more rapidly and relax, thereby removing the wrinkles.

Black absorbs more radiation than other colours, this is why we see it as black. The heat we feel is infra-red radiation, part of the electromagnetic scale.
