Wood is a material (substance) not a chemical compound (it is not a pure substance made of one compound) and surely it is not a change at all, neither chemical nor physical.

One common chemical change that wood undergoes is combustion when it is exposed to heat and oxygen, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Another chemical change that wood can undergo is fermentation, which occurs when wood is broken down by microorganisms to produce products such as ethanol or acetic acid. Additionally, wood can undergo chemical changes such as oxidation and hydrolysis when it is exposed to certain environmental conditions.
Chemical Because physical is when you change it your self
I guess it could be chemical, but really- it's a physical change
Wood rotting is a chemical change, as it involves the breakdown of the wood's cellular structure by fungi or bacteria, resulting in the formation of new chemical compounds.
The rotting of wood is primarily a chemical change. It involves the breakdown of the wood's organic compounds by microorganisms (such as fungi and bacteria) through processes like decomposition and oxidation. This results in the formation of new chemical substances and compounds.
When you burn wood a chemical change occurs.
