A matchstick cannot relight after being extinguished because the combustion process requires three elements: heat, fuel, and oxygen. Once the match is extinguished, it loses the heat necessary to ignite the remaining combustible materials. Additionally, the match's chemical composition may have been altered by the initial burning, making it less likely to ignite again. Finally, the absence of sufficient oxygen when the match is smoldering further prevents it from relighting.
