Oxidation is the process that can lead to spontaneous ignition.

When organic materials, such as hay, coal, or oily rags, are stored in large quantities, they undergo a slow oxidation process that generates heat. If this heat cannot dissipate, it can accumulate and eventually cause the material to reach its ignition temperature, leading to spontaneous combustion.
