In the given statement, both the Assertion and the Reason are correct. But the given reason is not the right explanation for the given assertion.
Herbivores have been suggested to be the key animals that help in maintaining the ecosystem as they are plant eaters and they cannot convert plant material into animal matter. They help in balancing the foliage and the structural diversity of the vegetation. They produce food from the inorganic matter.
Decomposers feed on the dead material and leave behind the nutrients in the ecosystem. They maintain the organic matter in the ecosystem by decomposing the left out minerals and provide nutrients indirectly to the producers.
