Lets say if you take any plant of your choice and subject it to extreme conditions of pressure temperature etc., and also aging process then you get some what similar to a Fossil.
that is the fossil (considering plant fossils) and other early plants are all "similar" to present day plants (or present day living things) (barring evolutionary changes).
Hope this Helps
Yes, fossils of early plants can provide valuable information about their adaptations, life cycle, and evolutionary history. By studying these fossils, scientists can better understand the diversity and ecology of early plant species and how they have influenced the development of ecosystems over time.
The popular fossils similar to Lucy belong to the genus Australopithecus. Lucy herself is a specimen of Australopithecus afarensis, an early hominin species that lived around 3.2 million years ago.

Fern fossils come from ferns. Ferns are plants, not animals. Hence, fern fossils are plants, not animals.
The earliest fossils represent plants.

why did the early scholars reject fossils as a mean to trace human evolution
fossils
The first Smilodon fossils were discovered in the early 19th century, with documented findings as early as the late 1700s. These fossils were initially unearthed in North and South America.
By their sheer numbers, plants.
