Yes, amber. Dried plant resin. It is not dried tree sap.

Yes, the hard transparent golden substance that insects are often fossilized in is called amber.
It comes from the sticky hydrocarbon resin secretions of many plants, particularly coniferous trees, such as pine trees.

It IS amber and it originally was tree sap which became petrified over time. (Insects got stuck in the sticky sap.)
Amber is a rich dark gold color and you'll find it made into all sorts of jewellery -- rings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets.

insects die and then lay around so they become ambers

Kid do your own homework. It is better to do it yourself and learn something then to let some Morons you don't know help you
