Answer 2

Answer:

The life that existed had soft bodies, which rarely left behind fossils.

Explanation:

Fossils are formed when the organisms are pressed between layers of rocks. If the organisms are too soft, they will leave only a faint imprint in rocks. The organisms present in the Precambrian period were soft. So fossils of these organisms are difficult to find.
