Short Answer:
For most common meanings of the word fossil (mineralized remains of an organism), that the number of macroscopic (meaning large enough to see) fossils of animals far exceeds the number of macroscopic plant fossils.
Its complicated:
There is no easy way to count the number of plant or animal fossils or to compare their number. Attempting to compare the two requires a more specific criterion.
There is no doubt that the number of large fossils of animals is much greater than the number of large fossils of plants. The process for preserving bones is more likely to result in a bone fossil than the process for preserving a leaf. A seashell is more likely to be preserved than kelp.

Why can plants survive without animals but animals not with plants?
Plants CAN survive without the help of animals. Animals play a part in a plant's life by either two ways: seed reproductive transport (1), or/and fertilizer(2). For transportation, animals, such as birds, can help by eating a berry off of a berry plant. When they travel away from the area and produce waste from the foods, the seed droppings are in the waste material, which lands onto soil and soon another berry plant will grow. The other ways is a little more complex; plants, for example, grass, can get their soil more nutrients by having other animals such as cows to produce more waste. This manure contains rich ingredients to help the grass grow better. Overall, plants CAN survive without the help of animals. But if they DO get help, such as transport or soil nutrients, they have more chance of living longer.
Why do animals need plants and why do plants need animals?
animals need plants because animals like deer depend on plants like grass(to eat). and plants need animals because if the animals did not eat the plants then the plants would become an invasive species. and then it would be hard to take back, or exterminate the plant.
