Decomposers do not their own food. These animals are born to break down the wastes left by the animals around them.

What would happen if we did not have decomposers?
If we didn't have decompsers then everything below it in the food chain would be dead by now. The plants and insects that eat the plants. and the animals that eat the plants. but it the animal dies there wouldn't be decomposers to finish them. Which later then starve the carnivores. The grass will be overgrown and insects will produce drastically
