I understand that the Earth’s core is full of very hot liquid rock, but why is it hot and why does it stay hot?

You know how if you rub something against a spring disc/ ball it gets hot? (Imagine brake pads or a baseball). For baseball it’s like 1 second of heat, earth is bigger so it’s more like millions of years.( I have no idea what I’m talking about)
