Bread is moist, and loses moisture.
Biscuits are dry, and gain moisture.

My biscuits typically do not go soft.
But to answer your question...as the moisture evaporates from the bread it gets stiffer. Some products are "humectant" meaning they actually draw moisture out of the air. Crisp cookies/crackers/cereals are perfect examples of this...ever notice if you leave crisp cookies/crackers/cereals unwrapped they get "stale?" This is because the cookie/cracker is actually becoming more moist. I believe it is the sugar in these products that are the culprit. If memory serves sugars are "humectant."
Man, it's gettin' all scientific up in dis place, ain't it?!
I bet you thought it was a simple question, didn't you?

Biscuits generally have baking powder in them which aids in keeping the final product moist. Bread does not.

Biscuits get so hard you can break a window with them.
