Good question. Firstly, producers get their energy energy from the sun through photosynthesis, creating or producing nutrients in the plant. A herbivore consumer can then eat it getting it's nutrients so, consumers rely on producers for their food but decomposers rely on a carnivore or omnivore (consumer) to eat some species of a consumer. The decomposer, lets say a earth worm eats and consumes the rest of the animal breaking it down to it's core nutrients. So I guess you could say decomposers rely on carnivores/omnivores to kill each other and herbivores, and herbivores/omnivores rely on producers for nutrients to eat.
Producer could be omitted, as decomposers and consumers can still function in the ecosystem without producers. Decomposers break down organic matter, while consumers feed on producers or other consumers.
producers make, consumers eat what things are made like plants, decomposers eat dead things/ dead consumers.
blahh blahh bla
A dolphin is a consumer.
ONLY plants are producer ONLY fungi and bacteria are decomposers ALL other living things are consumers You need to ask yourself - is a Mollusk as plant or a fungus or bacteria, if not then Mollusks must be consumers.
They can easily survive without any other organisms. So, as a group, they are producers, consumers and decomposers.

w do producers, consumers and decomposers support each other?
Yes
The three energy roles in an ecosystem are producers, consumers, and decomposers. ;)
Only plants can be producers Only bacteria and fungi can be decomposers All other organisms are consumers A dolphin is a mammal (or a fish).
producers has the highest number and they are called autotrophs because they make their own food then the consumers are next which are called heterotrophs because they depend on other organism for food and the decomposers are on the top of the pyramid of numbers
