Are the small particles of rock or the remains of living things that make up sedimentary rocks called cement true or false?
These small particles are known as clasts. If they are the remains of living things they may be known as bioclasts. The remains of animals are called fossils if they have hardened and become preserved.

What is a fossil.?
A fossil is any evidence of ancient life that is preserved in stone or other material. Fossils can include molds, casts, defecation material, stomach stones, bones, footprints, trails and burrows. Fossils can be preserved in sedimentary rock (and rarely metamorphic and igneous rock), tar pits, and amber, and are usually the result of the organism being covered rapidly upon death. Fossils are very important in helping us trace the history of life on Earth and the evolutionary relationships between organisms of the past and present.
Why do we find fossils in sedimentary rock?
When ancient animals and plants died, their bodies might be covered in silt, mud, sand, etc. Over an extremely long time, the sediment may be turned into sedimentary rock. The preserved remains are what we know as fossils.
What type of rock formes undergroundfrom particles of other rocks and the remains of dead plants and animals?
A sedimentary rock forms from rock particles cemented (compacted) together. If the remains of dead plants and animals are preserved in the rock, they become fossils. If the remains break down into carbon, oils, or gases, they become fossil fuels.
