The true statement is: **Imprints of leaves or footprints in sedimentary rock are fossils.**
Fossils include any preserved remains or traces of ancient life, which can encompass imprints, petrified remains, and more. Recent remains of plants or animals are not considered fossils as they have not undergone the fossilization process.
