Only a small amount of plants and animals die and end up under the certain conditions needed to actually format a successful fossil. This is the most updated information. Scientists haven't yet discovered all fossils, do you might call this an estimate or guess. However, as said before, this is the most updated information that scientists have available due to lack of full discovery.

Why do scientists have been unable to find fossils of the first plants?
Because very specific conditions need to occur for fossils to both form and also survive through to the present day. Most dead animals and plants are not fossilized and many that were must have been subjected to erosion and other destructive processes. Many fossils which have formed and survived just haven't been found.
Fossils show that there have been many?
Fossils show that there have been many different species of organisms that have lived on Earth throughout its history. These fossils provide important clues about the evolution and biodiversity of life on our planet.
What conditions were needed to turn the plants and animals into fossils?

This is why the fossil record is incomplete and biased towards certain types of organisms.
What contains many different type of fossils?
A fossil bed or fossil site contains many different types of fossils. These can include remains of plants, animals, and other organisms that have been preserved in sedimentary rocks over millions of years.
