Hey Friends here is your answer _________________^^^^^^^______________
.Wood is largely cellulose, cellulose is a polysaccharide, it is a hydrocarbon with includes oxygen. The cellulose is a chain of glucose molecules, glucose is a sugar, C6H12O3. Sugar burns in air to produce CO2 and water. For the same reason wood is biodegradable. If wood was not biodegradable or combustible the whole land surface of the Earth would long since be buried under dead trees and all the available carbon for living things would be bound up in them. Forest fires also clear the way for new growth, The seeds of some trees won’t even germinate unless they have been heated by fire......
Hope it will help you-------------------------------
