Decaying organic matter refers to plant or animal material that is in the process of breaking down and decomposing. This process is carried out by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which feed on the organic material and break it down into simpler substances. Decaying organic matter plays a critical role in nutrient cycling and soil fertility in ecosystems.
