This is known as the ignition temperature. Cotton and wood have relatively high ignition temperatures. 3. **Presence of Heat**: For cotton clothes and wooden pencils to catch fire, they need to be exposed to a heat source that raises their temperature to the ignition point. In normal conditions, they do not have enough heat to reach this temperature. ...
