Most of the species have become extinct.
Fossilised ancient life-forms. There are even fossilsed bacteria from 30 billion years ago.

Fossils can be used as evidence for evolution because they can show the development of a species over a long period of time.
They evolved over time from older species.
Yes, preserved footprints are examples of fossils.
A fossil is any evidence of an organism preserved in rock.

The preserved remains of animals of evidence of their existence are Fossils Fosssils that provide evidence about the past are called trace fossils.
Yes, fossilisation is a rare process especially on land. There will have been many species not preserved as fossils but it would be impossible to prove as there are no remains. It is also possible that many species were preserved in rocks but, due to tectonic processes, they were obliterated as the rocks were metamorphosed.

"Preserve" is both a verb and a noun. As a verb it means to keep from deteriorating. E.g. I preserved the evidence by putting it in an evidence bag. I preserved the fossil by covering it up. As a noun, it means a sauce made from preserved fruit. E.g. I served ice cream with a preserve for a dessert.
