Any organism or parts of an organism counts as a fossil when preserved within amber, so fossils can be stored in amber.

It is called a mold fossil, which can become a cast fossil. After the soft parts of the animal rot away, a cavity remains (the mold fossil) which becomes filled with hardened sand or mud (the cast fossil).
Yes, but it occasionally does happen.

Yes, but it occasionally does happen.
when an organism dies, its soft parts often decay quickly or are eaten by animals. that is why only hard parts of an organism generally leave fossils. these hard parts include bones, shells, teeth, seeds, and woody stems.
It is an extremely thin coating of carbon on a rock that perseveres the delicate parts of an organism.

The fossil that can preserve a whole animal is called a complete or articulated fossil. It occurs when the entire organism is preserved with all its anatomical parts intact, often due to quick burial in sediments that prevent decomposition or disintegration. Examples of complete fossils include the exceptional preservation of insects trapped in amber or well-preserved dinosaur fossils.
It wasn't preserved except for parts of the skeleton.
nopee.. and the conditions are that the organism has to be buried quickly, hidden from scavengers. and another condition is if they have hard parts they are preserved better.
