1 Open ai, right-click the existing layer, and click Grouping, as shown in the figure, to cancel grouping. If there is no grouping, proceed directly to the next step.

Click menu bar-File-Export, select the location where you want to save the file, and save it in PSD format.

3. The selection box pops up. Select RGB as the color model, and select the Write to Layer option. At the same time, select Preserve Maximum Editability, and then click OK.

4. Open PSD file with Photoshop and observe whether the layer is preserved.

Note: Some exported PSD file layers are not conducive to editing. It is better to directly select the layer you want to export in ai and copy it with CTRL+C. Just paste Ctrl+V directly into PSD file. The pasted layer can choose smart object format, but it is a defect of copying and pasting that it cannot be edited directly.
