Fossils are best defined as **the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past**. This includes not only the physical remains of organisms, such as bones and shells, but also traces like footprints, burrows, and even chemical signatures left behind. Fossils provide valuable information about the history of life on Earth and how organisms have evolved over time.
