Its due to the material's electrons' magnetic dipole moment. The electrons have their own individual magnetic dipole moments and act as magnetic dipoles arranged randomly. When a magnet is brought in their vicinity, these magnetic dipoles rearrange themselves properly and give a net magnetic dipole moment to the whole material and the object now starts acting as a magnetic dipole(magnet).
Hope it helps you.
