could wood melt if there were no oxygen where it was?

If so, Any Idea of it’s melting point?
WHY do you say wood doesn’t melt? I was under the impression that everything has a melting point.

    When you heat wood, before it can *melt*, which it does not, the bonds that hold the carbon atoms of wood, break and the entire structure is changed to something that is called *ash*. There is already a large amount of water present in wood as the cellulose molecules themselves have water. Unlike complex metal structures, wood has a simple structure and hence cannot rearrange itself at higher temperatures.
