For something to burn, it has to be heated to the point where it can catch fire. Wood CSN stand fairly high temperatures, and a match hasn't enough energy to raise the temperature high enough.

Wood is denser and requires more heat to ignite compared to paper. When you strike a match, the heat produced might not be enough to ignite the wood due to its density. On the other hand, paper is lighter and less dense, making it easier to ignite with the heat from a matchstick.

Why a log of wood does not burn by a matchstick while paper does burn?

Wood has a higher ignition temperature than paper, so it requires more heat to start burning. The density and moisture content of wood also make it harder to light with a matchstick compared to the lighter and more flammable paper. Additionally, wood contains more structural components such as lignin that can impede the combustion process.
