No, it does not feed off of dead plants and animals directly (as what certain types of fungus would).

As with most plants they absorb the nutrients which are available in the soil after the decomposition process has taken place (fungi, bacteria etc).

Clover (as with most legumes) is often used as a "green manure" as it is able to "fix" or convert nitrites into nitrates, which other plants can absorb.
