Question

Why do bacteria and fungi are called decomposers? Write the use of decomposers to the environment?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacteria and fungi are called decomposers because bacteria and fungi break down the dead and decaying organic matter into simpler substances and provide the nutrients back to the soil.

Explanation:

Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.
