Why do you think paleontologists find fossils of small water plants?

If water plants lived in an area of volcanic hot springs such as Yellowstone Park, the silica in the water would gradually be absorbed into the cells of the plants. This kills the plants over time but it also preserves their structure in a rock called chert.
The 410 million year old Rhynie Chert in Scotland is a good example of early plants preserved in this way.

I dont think they can unless there plant monsters. You don't see plants eating things everyday. But there are plants that suck the nutrients out of other plants.
