Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposers play a crucial role in the Nitrogen Cycle by breaking down dead organic matter and releasing nutrients back into the soil. The nitrogen in the dead organic matter is converted into a form that can be taken up by plants, which helps to regulate the amount of nitrogen available in the environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plant and animal wastes decompose, adding nitrogen to the soil. Bacteria in the soil convert those forms of nitrogen into forms plants can use. Plants use the nitrogen in the soil to grow. People and animals eat the plants; then animal and plant residues return nitrogen to the soil again, completing the cycle.
