Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposers are heterotrophic, which means they get their energy from ingesting organic material. A dead organism provides nutrients for decomposers like bacteria and fungi to use in order to grow and reproduce, propagating their own species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposers are heterotrophs that break down and feed on the remains of dead organisms and other organic wastes such as feces. In the process, they release simple inorganic molecules back to the environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -decomposer. noun. organism that breaks down dead organic material; also sometimes referred to as detritivores.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren’t in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.

Detailed explanation-5: -Decomposers (fungi, bacteria, invertebrates such as worms and insects) have the ability to break down dead organisms into smaller particles and create new compounds. We use decomposers to restore the natural nutrient cycle through controlled composting.
