The organic decay of anything releases water, carbon dioxide, plant nutrients, synthesized complex organic carbon compounds and with all this, energy.

This released energy is trapped within the layers on top and hence the substance that is decaying remains warm.

Also, microbes producing enzymes help to keep it warm since enzyme synthesis releases energy.
