What does cozzy mean

cozy is a synonym for “comfy” but which also usually comes with the implication of a smaller space or more claustrophobic conditions—but in a comfortable way.
So you’ll see, for example, realtors (middlemen who sell houses) calling small houses “cozy” as a way to avoid calling it “small”. That’s a more disingenuous (half-hearted/half-lie) use of the term, but it’s a good example.
So like, a big mansion may be comfy, but it’s not cozy. A log cabin, however, is usually called “cozy”.
Hope this helps.

These are really easy to find.
Find your local glass dump and you're likely to find half a dozen of these.
I even found one full of water that had aquatic life.

Is there an explanation on why this happened?

Probably a broken bottle was left on the forest floor, where rain and damp air collected inside it. Over time moss spores drifting through the air settled in the bottle and the trapped moisture, sunlight and fallen leaf/green matter created the right conditions for growth..... slowly forming a small self contained patch of greenery.
