Answer:

Sedimentary Rock- "They are formed by the accumulation and solidification of sediments, as the sediments are supplied by the wind, air or even ice(water)."

As the sedimentary rocks are formed under low temperature,T and low pressure,P.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Sedimentary rocks mainly posses the fossilized bodies because when the living organism or plant dies there body is buried under the layer of sediment. As the sedimentary rocks are formed by the action of slit and mud.
  • As for Igneous rocks they do not posses any fossilized body just because they are formed under very harsh conditions.
