Why does heat from the microwave make bread floppy while heat from a toaster makes bread crispy?

Question

I made a toaster waffle for myself this morning. Growing impatient, I popped it out before it was all the way done. As I was buttering it, I noticed parts of the waffle were still cold. Since there was already butter and syrup on it, I couldn’t put it back in the toaster. I threw it in the microwave for 20 seconds and it came out floppy instead of crispy. What gives?

Because it doesnt produce heat Like an oven or a toaster and roasts the bread with it. It makes the water inside the bread hot and stramy, which of course makes the bread floppy
