WhyGrasp of the Undying

Grasp on Malphite allows you to trade effectively with auto attacks in lane. Each point of health is especially important/strong on Malphite thanks to having so much natural Armor.

WhyBone Plating

Bone Plating on Malphite allows you to endure your weak early laning so that you're able to hit your first few items and become unkillable.

WhyConditioning

If you manage to make it through the early game, Conditioning's bonus resists make a monster and incredibly difficult to kill in the mid game.

WhyOvergrowth

Overgrowth's bonus health scales incredibly well with Malphite's natural Armor stacking. Each point of health you earn from Overgrowth is that much stronger thanks to your resists.

WhyManaflow Band

Manaflow Band allows you to consistently harass in the lane phase with [Q] thanks to the point-and-click proc.

WhyTranscendence

Malphite's natural build consists of a lot of Cooldown Reduction items and Transcendence allows you to overcome any fear of over-capping CDR. The extra bit of AP you'll get from over-capping is welcomed.
