Detailed explanation-2: -Decomposition is the essential step of recycling essential matter into the food cycle. The process of decomposition is essentially comprised of five stages.

Detailed explanation-3: -As decomposers break down the remains of dead organisms and produce waste, nutrients are recycled back into the soil for producers (plants) to absorb through their roots. Without decomposers, a buildup of debris remained and a lack of nutrients in the food chain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposers are also called as reducers because they are able to remove or degrade the dead bodies of organisms and due to their small size they are known as microconsumers.
