Because CO2 gas is released. Vinegar is aqueous acetic acid, HC2H3O2(aq) and baking soda is mainly sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3
The reaction is
HC2H3O2(aq) + NaHCO3(s) -> NaC2H3O2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Adding the vinegar (acetic acid) cause the release of carbon dioxide (thus the fizzing) and formation of water and sodium acetate.

it is called chemical reaction / u could say the ph density balance of both chemicals
been that acidity verses powder solution the acidic base will react in accordance to the ph from the baking soda[sodium bicrate] thous given off a fizz
