Why would an animal or plant that is trapped in amber or tar pits or frozen preserve?

Freezing organisms can help preserve them because if it is frozen, then bacteria can't eat it. Scientists have also found animals that have been preserved through freezing. Insects can be preserved in amber because before it hardens, it is a sticky substance where the insects can get stuck in. So, insects found in amber are usually perfectly preserved. The unfortunate animals that were preserved in the tar was the cause of going to drink water. As that animal gets stuck, another would try to go and eat it which ends up with both animals getting preserved in the tar. (ha,ha)
