So most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks, where gentler pressure and lower temperature allows preservation of past life-forms. Fossils become a part of sedimentary rocks when sediments such as mud, sand, shells and pebbles cover plant and animal organisms and preserve their characteristics through time.

Answer:

The reason you only see fossils in sedimentary rock is that these set of rocks are formed in much lower pressure and temperature, compared to other rock types. The pressure and temperature are quite low to the extent that they do not destroy the remains of dead plants and animals buried in the rock. That is the reason.
