Answer:
A decomposer is an organism that decomposes, or breaks down, organic material such as the remains of dead organisms. Decomposers include bacteria and fungi. These organisms carry out the process of decomposition, which all living organisms undergo after death. Decomposition is an important process because it allows organic material to be recycled in an ecosystem.

Decomposers are microorganisms, especially bacteria and fungi, that break down waste and dead remains of organisms.
- They convert complex organic substances into simple inorganic molecules, which go into the soil and are once again taken up by plants.
- Decomposers ensure the cyclic movement of matter in nature.
- They prevent pollution and make sure that the earth is not covered with organic waste.
