Discover the crucial role of decomposers in ecosystems, from fungi and bacteria to earthworms, and how they recycle nutrients for ecological balance. Learn how decomposers feed on dead things and recycle nutrients in ecosystems. Find out the different types of decomposers, from microscopic organisms to fungi and detritivores. Decomposers are reducers or saprophytic, which means they live in the dead body and acquire nourishment from feeding decaying organic matter. They include microorganisms (like fungi, bacteria), insects, earthworms, etc. They produced different digestive enzymes to break down the organic materials. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organic matter into simpler substances, facilitating nutrient recycling in ecosystems. Common examples include fungi and bacteria.
