Coal was formed from the remains of swamp plants :D
Coal is an organic rock that is composed of vegetation that may have originated in swamps and marshes.
Weeds, bushes, willows are some common swamp plants.
Swamp wetlands typically have woody plants and tall trees, with standing water present either seasonally or year-round. Swamps are characterized by their saturated soil conditions and are common in low-lying areas with slow-moving or stagnant water.
The process by which a lake is slowly replaced by a swamp is called eutrophication. This occurs when excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus enter the water, leading to the overgrowth of plants and algae. As these plants die and decay, they create organic matter that eventually fills in the lake, turning it into a swamp.

Coal is the solid fossil fuel formed from the remains of swamp plants that grew millions of years ago.

Coal beds are formed from the accumulation of plant material, such as trees and ferns, that have been buried and compressed over long periods of time. The process starts with the accumulation of plant debris in a swamp or marsh environment, which eventually gets buried by sediments. Over time, heat and pressure transform the plant material into peat, and with more burial and compression, peat is converted into coal.
A coal deposit is a lenticular layer of carbon and carbon compounds formed from the remains of plants and basically ancient Geography explains how coal deposits are formed. To get a coal deposit you need the plants to be growing in swampy conditions so that as plants grow and then die, they fall into the the swamp waters to be replaced by new plants so that in time, a thick layer of dead plants builds up at the bottom the swamp (you need about 3 feet depth of plant matter to eventually form 1 foot of coal). You then need to rapidly bury the dead plants with sediments (sand and mud) before it rots away. Thus we need a swampy place for plants to grow which, every so often, is subject to deposits of sediment. Today we call these places River Deltas. Once the swamp gets buried by more and more sediments, the water gets squeezed out of the plants and over time, as the swamp get buried ever deeper, the heat from inside the earth changes the plants into coal.

The sun is the source of the energy found in coal. Plants get energy from the sun through photosynthesis, which drives the chemical reactions that let plants grow and store food. Swamp plants that died millions of years ago were covered over and eventually came under tremendous pressure by being buried under the surface of the earth. This pressure slowly converted them from recognizable plant remains to what we recognize as coal.
