As more soil deposited over them, they were compressed. The temperature also rose as they sank deeper and deeper. Under high pressure and high temperature, dead plants got slowly converted to coal. As coal contains mainly carbon, the slow process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called carbonization

About 300 million years ago the earth had dense forest in low lying wetland areas.
Due to various natural processes, like flooding and earthquakes, these forests got buried under the soil.
The soil eposits layer by layer over them, they were compressed.
Under high temperature and pressure the plants got converted to coal slowly.
This process is called carbonisation.
