It's like a compass. The earth has a magnetic field running generally north and south. That field interacts the magnet and causes the magnet to rotate until it is aligned north and south.

It points towards the North-South direction because the Earth itself is a giant bar magnet and the North Pole of the magnet points towards the South Pole of the Earth and the South Pole points towards the North Pole of the Earth.
