Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some decomposers are specialized and break down only a certain kind of dead organism. Others are generalists that feed on lots of different materials. Thanks to decomposers, nutrients get added back to the soil or water, so the producers can use them to grow and reproduce.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the carbon cycle, decomposers break down dead material from plants and other organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, where it’s available to plants for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Different decomposers Fungi release chemicals to break down dead plants or animals into simple substances. They absorb some of these substances for growth, but others enter the soil. Earthworms digest rotting plant and animal matter as they swallow soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposers recycle nutrients back into the soil so that they can be taken up by the roots of plants.
