Question

decomposers are not included in any food chain why

Answer 1

decomposers and scavengers they just eat on decayed and dead animal protien
but if we see it in a way they can be hunted by any carnivore,that is they can be eaten up by any other animal as well
in that case it is a part of the chain but their works or their activity of cleaning up the environment by eating up dead decaying animals are not included

Answer 2

Decomposers are not included in any food chain because they act at all levels of the food chain.

• Decomposers are the organisms that feed on dead and decaying matter. it can be either plant waste or other organic matter.
• Decomposers such as fungi and bacteria are the main part of the ecosystem as they regulate many life cycles such as the nitrogen cycle.
• They can be herbivores or carnivores. so, they are not given any specific position in the food chain.
• They eat plants so, they are herbivores but they also feed on animal protein, so they can be carnivores.
