Answer:

Microorganisms are microscopic organisms that live in every part of the biosphere including on the ocean floor and high up in the atmosphere. They can be either single or multi-cell organisms and include all the bacteria, archaea, protozoa on the planet plus many types of fungi and algae.

Imagine a pinch a soil that weights no more than a paper clip. That soil contains:

3,000,000 to 500,000,000 bacteria

1,00,000 to 20,000,000 actinomycetes

5,000 to 1,000,000 fungi

1,000 to 500,000 protozoa

1,000 to 500,000 algae

10 to 5,000 nematodes

WHY ARE MICROORGANISMS IMPORTANT?

Microorganisms play a key role in decomposition (the break down of organic matter) and the cycling of nutrients and water to our plants and crops. Decaying organic matter provides microorganisms with energy for their growth and supplies carbon for the formation of new cells. As microorganisms help break down organic matter, they release essential nutrients and carbon dioxide into the soil, fix nitrogen and help transform nutrients into mineral forms that plants can use through a process called mineralization. In addition, as these microorganisms move through the soil, they aerate it, helping to improve soil drainage and soil structure.

Because of the role microorganisms play in the environment, the “living soil” is one of the most valuable ecosystems on earth, helping to regulate the climate, mitigate droughts and floods and filter water.

Explanation:

Fungi(singular fungus) are known as natural scavengers because they help in decomposition right from the basic stage and rely on dead and decaying matter. They feed(in this case "grow") on dead and decaying matter just like other scavengers and this is the chief characteristic. The Brainliest Answer
