Answer:
Decomposers play a critical role in the flow of energy through an ecosystem. They break apart dead organisms into simpler inorganic materials, making nutrients available to primary producers
Explanation:
When you have an empty bottle, do you recycle it so the plastic or glass can be used again? Nature has its own recycling system: a group of organisms called decomposers.
Decomposers feed on dead things: dead plant materials such as leaf litter and wood, animal carcasses, and feces. They perform a valuable service as Earth’s cleanup crew. Without decomposers, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere. Imagine what the world would look like!

- Decomposers are organisms that act on dead plants and animals, and convert them into a dark colored substance called humus. Bacteria and some fungi act as decomposers. They play a key role in releasing the nutrients present in dead plants and animals into the soil.
