Answer:

Hard body parts such as teeth, bones, shell, hard woody stem mostly form the fossils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fossils refer to the preserved remains of the living beings. Fossils are formed when the hard body parts of dead organisms are preserved in rocks. The hard body parts do not decompose easily and form fossils. Most of the fossils are of bones, teeth, woody stems of plants and shells of animals. Soft body parts are decayed easily and mostly, do not form the fossils.
