Substances which can be acted upon by microorganism (decomposer) are called
biodegradable. For example- vegetable wastes, paper, cotton etc.
On the other hand, materials which are not acted upon by decomposers are called
non-biodegradable. For example- plastic, glass, polyethene etc.

HEY FRIEND HERE IS UR ANSWER,
The reason why some substances are biodegradable and some non-biodegradable is because the microorganisms like bacteria and decomposers like saprophytes have a specific role to play. They can breakdown only natural products like paper, wood etc. but they cannot breakdown man-made products like plastics. Based on this some substances are biodegradable and some non-biodegradable.
