Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposers play a critical role in the flow of energy through an ecosystem. They break apart dead organisms into simpler inorganic materials, making nutrients available to primary producers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposers bring about the breakdown of complex compounds (they utilize some of these organic compounds as a source of food) from dead matter and release inorganic nutrients into the environment. The inorganic nutrients released by the decomposers are made available again to producers (autotrophs).
Detailed explanation-3: -The decomposers in an ecosystem convert organic material to inorganic forms that go into the soil and are once again used up by the plants. Decomposers feed on dead remains and waste products or organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposers break down the remains and other wastes and release simple inorganic molecules back to the environment. Producers can then use the molecules to make new organic compounds. The stability of decomposers is essential to every ecosystem.
