A fossil fuel is the remnant of organic materials that died millons of years ago. When an organism died that long ago, say a plant, it became buried under layers and layers of sediment(aka mud, sand, etc.). Over time, the pressure from these layers of sediment compressed the plant to the point that it underwent chemical changes, and became crude oil(Coal is also formed this way, so is natural gas, propane, and other fuels). Our world is powered by dead organisms from millons of years ago.
