How is wood made into long & wide planks?

I’m honestly confused, wood can’t be melted, if you tried bending it, it would just snap? Sorry if I sound dumb lol, I’m just curious.

Like plywood? Made by shaving a trunk in a continuous spiral then steaming it, flattening it out and gluing layers to desired thickness.

If not plywood, you pretty much need a tree as big as you want the wood long/wide.
