Detailed explanation-1: -Preserved evidence of the body parts of ancient animals, plants and other life forms are called ‘body fossils’. ‘Trace fossils’ are the evidence left by organisms in sediment, such as footprints, burrows and plant roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fossil evidence definition refers to the evidence of bacteria, animals, and plants that lived in the past. Fossil evidence is used to determine what the organism was, when it lived, and what major events it experienced during its lifetime.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fossils are the preserved remains, or traces of remains, of ancient organisms. Fossils are not the remains of the organism itself! They are rocks. A fossil can preserve an entire organism or just part of one.
