Soft animal parts usually rot and do not become fossilized.
Animal parts that are soft and don't have a skeleton leave the worst imprints. Fossils are made with animal parts that are hard and durable.
Those surrounded by skeletal structures
These are called "replacement fossils" also "petrification"
Dead and decaying plant matter is called compost.

Yes, preserved footprints are examples of fossils.
Harder parts of organisms become fossils. For example vasculature in plants and bones of animals are best preserves in the fossils.
Those surrounded by skeletal structures
When an animal dies, usually only the bones remain and turn into fossils.
When an organism dies, its soft parts often decay quickly or are eaten by animals
They are leaves stems roots and seeds I checked its in my book(:
molds and casts, trace fossils, petrified wood, and carbon filmThe four types of fossils are mold fossils, cast fossils, true-form fossils, and trace fossils. Mold fossils are impressions from when the plant or animal first decomposed. Cast fossils are plant or animal remains. True-form fossils are remaining body parts from an animal. Trace fossils are marks that have been left by animal, such as footprints.
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.
fossils that are made from parts of an organism's body
