- They also help in increasing the fertility of soil by making a nutrient-rich soil called the humus.
- This humus contains many essential macro and micro nutrients which will again be used by plants, the plants will again convert it into food which will be available to primary consumers and then to "secondary and tertiary consumers".
- In this way, they play a vital role in cycle of energy and cycle of nutrients or the biochemical cycles and hence, maintain the ecosystem.
