Soap Bar

How does a solid soap bar turn to foam when it is heated in a microwave?
How does a solid soap bar turn to foam when it is heated in a microwave?
I am thinking somewhere a long the line where the heat created by the microwave causes the particles in the soap to vibrate (hit each other) causing the soap to turn into foam. But how that happens is the real question. But if this is not the case, cause someone earlier mention that the effect is actually caused by the radiation wave, it would be great if someone explain more about that. THANKs in advance !
Remember that all soap contains water, both in the form of water vapor
inside trapped air bubbles (particularly important in the case of Ivory)
and water that is caught up in the matrix of the soap itself.
The effect is caused by the heating of the water that is inside the
soap. The water vaporizes, forming bubbles; the heat also causes trapped air to expand. Likewise, the heat causes the soap itself to soften and become pliable.
