A mummy, to put it bluntly, is an old dead body.
But unlike a skeleton or a fossil, a mummy still
retains some of the soft tissue it had when it
was alive -- most often skin, but sometimes
organs and muscles, as well. This tissue
preservation can happen by accident or through
human intervention but, in either case, it occurs
when bacteria and fungi are unable to grow on a
corpse and cause its decay.
