Answer:

In biology, detritus (/dɪˈtraɪtəs/) is dead particulate organic material, as distinguished from dissolved organic material. Detritus typically includes the bodies or fragments of bodies of dead organisms, and fecal material. Detritus typically hosts communities of microorganisms that colonize and decompose (i.e. remineralize) it. In terrestrial ecosystems it is present as leaf litter and other organic matter that is intermixed with soil, which is denominated "soil organic matter". The detritus of aquatic ecosystems is organic material that is suspended in the water and accumulates in depositions on the floor of the body of water; when this floor is a seabed, such a deposition is denominated "marine snow".

Detritus food chain is a type of food chain that starts with dead organic materials.The dead organic substances are decomposed by microorganisms. The organisms that feed on dead organic matter or detritus,are known as detritivores or decomposers. These detritivores are later eaten by predators.In the detritus food chain, the excreted product by one organisms is utilized by another organisms.

\sf{For\:example :}

When dead organic waste is consumed by microscopic organisms like bacteria or fungi.Later,this microscopic organisms are consumed by other detritivore organisms like snails, earthworm and so on.
