Hibernation is basically a snapshot of a running OS, with all its running applications, open files (maybe in the middle of a write operation), file caches etc.

If you mount a hibernated partition from another OS and change data on disk - the actual state of the disk and what Windows knows of the disk goes out of sync, which can lead to severe corruption of the filesystem.

The accepted answer at Unable to mount Windows (NTFS) filesystem due to hibernation provides more details.
