Ancient plant remains are buried and compacted until they form fossil fuels.
There are 3 types of fossil fuels:
Natural Gas
Oil
and Coal; the only solid fossil fuel, which is what you're looking for.

Coal is a fossil fuel found in solid rock form that is obtained through mining. It is formed from the remains of plants that lived millions of years ago and is a major source of energy worldwide.
Coal is a solid fossil fuel that forms from the remains of plants that lived millions of years ago. When burned, coal releases energy in the form of heat, making it a significant source of power generation worldwide.
Fossil fuels are produced from plant and animal remains over thousands of years. The plant remains finally give rise to coal while animal remains form petroleum and natural gas. The remains of dead plants and animals are covered by silt and mud and gradually layer after layer forms over them. Over the course of thousands of years the remains undergo changes under incredible amount of heat and pressure to produce fossil fuels.

Yes, fossil fuel is formed from fossils.
for the animal or plant to decay
A fossil formed in this way is called a petrified fossil. It occurs when minerals gradually replace the organic material in an organism's remains, creating a stone replica of the organism. This process is known as petrification.
Typically something dies and gets buried in sediment. Over time the sediment transforms to sedimentary rock and the remains of the dead plant or animal fossilizes. There are a few variants on this but that is the basic process.
GAS I take it this is an American answering. As a British person, OIL is a liquid fossil fuel, COAL is a solid fossil fuel and NATURAL GAS is a gaseous fossil fuel.
No, cotton is a plant. If it is burnt as biofuel it is a form of renewable energy.
Fossil Fuels
fossil fuels are the remains of dead plant matter, mostly plankton. Those plants use the sun to preform photosynthis. So the sun in a way grew the materials that the oil and coal we use today are made up of.
