Plants take up the phosphate ions from the soil. The phosphates then moves from plants to animals when herbivores eat plants and carnivores.
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.

Decomposers obtain food by, obliviousely, decomposing rotting plants, leaves etc. They also might eat dead animals.
decomposers
Organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plants and animals are called decomposers. They play a crucial role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem and facilitating the decomposition process. Examples include bacteria, fungi, and some insects.
No, they are scavengers/detritivores but they are not decomposers, Detritivores obtain nutrients from consuming decomposing animal and plant material in addition to feces.
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
Organisms that break down wastes an dead organisms and return the raw material to the environment are called decomposers.

Decomposers
No, cockles are not decomposers. They are bivalve mollusks that are filter feeders, meaning they obtain their food by filtering small particles from the water. They help in maintaining water quality by filtering out organic matter.
Neither, they are omnivores but with the capability to destroy when they need to do so to obtain food or protect their food.
