Answer:
nutrients into the ecosystem
Explanation:
These include organisms such as saprophytes that feed on dead organism. Most decomposers are saprophytic bacteria, fungi and the cellulose digesting protozoa found in the gut of termites that feed on dead plant material. Saprophytism is a form of nutrition where an organism obtains nutrients in form of soluble organic compounds from dead organic matter. Decomposers are very important in the ecosystem because they bring about decay or decomposition of dead bodies and release nutrients into the ecosystem which can be used by green plants in photosynthesis. Consumers feed on these organic compounds.
