Why do higher harmonics have a lower amplitude than the fundamental frequency?

When we pluck a string, it vibrates in all possible modes of vibrations. The lowest frequency possible is the fundamental frequency and it is the most significant part of sound.

But why do the amplitude of higher harmonics decreasesdecrease? Which formula is responsible?

Also, how is the energy of wave distributed among different modes?

A googleGoogle search didn't give any explained answer.
