The chemical processes involved in decomposition generate heat.
Decaying matter appears warm and moist due to the metabolic activity of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, that break down organic materials. As these microorganisms decompose the matter, they release heat through exothermic reactions, causing the surrounding area to feel warm. Additionally, the breakdown process generates moisture, as water is a byproduct of microbial metabolism and can also result from the decomposition of organic materials themselves. This combination of heat and moisture creates the characteristic warm and damp conditions associated with decaying matter.
Decaying matter appears warm and moist due to the metabolic activity of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, that break down organic material. This decomposition process generates heat as a byproduct of the metabolic reactions, which can raise the temperature of the surrounding material. Additionally, the breakdown of organic matter releases moisture as water vapor or liquid, contributing to the overall dampness of the decaying matter. Together, these factors create a warm and moist environment that fosters further decomposition.
`Decaying matter normally goes to the ground but can be used as fertilizer.
Decaying matter normally goes to the ground but can be used as fertalizer. Sometimes marshy water, (I think it was something like that) is made up of decaying animals of plants.

Only fungi feed on dead or decaying matter.

Decaying organic matter in the soil is called humus. When it is added to the soil deliberately, it is called compost.
