Things tend to decompose in a warm and moist environment. Mummification/fossilization typically happens in either very cold climates, very dry climates, or both. Since the rain forest is both warm and damp, decomposition typically happens very quickly.

How did ancient organisms become fossil fuels?

Ancient organisms became fossil fuels through a process called diagenesis, where organic matter from dead plant and animal remains is buried and subjected to high pressure and temperature over millions of years. This transforms the organic material into hydrocarbons, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are the substances we extract and use as fossil fuels.
