No. not normally.

When fossil bearing rocks are buried miles or kilometres deep they are heated and put under immense pressure. This tends to destroy any fossils.

There are some rocks such as limestones which, if they are heated by being in proximity to magma from a volcano, will turn into marble near the heat source and not show any fossils, but a couple of hundred metres away will still have fossils preserved.

Plant and animal fossils are most often found in metamorphic rock?

Actually, plant and animal fossils are most commonly found in sedimentary rocks rather than metamorphic rocks.

Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, are formed from the alteration of existing rocks under high pressure and temperature conditions, which usually destroys any fossils present.
