Answer:

Fossil Resin

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of fossilization that occurs when a sticky substance from plants captures and preserves an organism is Fossil Resin.

Fossil resins are usually trapped in the resin that some trees and plants including amber, copal, and retinite exude.

Amber is also a fossil resin. Under the right conditions, resins polymerize and turn into copal. Copal matures into amber after several million years.
