Explanation

Decomposers are organisms that break down the dead or decaying organisms and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic. They use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. Fungus is an example.
