What is the role of detritus feeders in an ecosystem?
Detrivores are animals like earthworms. They chew dead organisms into simpler substances so decomposers like mushrooms can decompose the dead organisms at a faster rate. Decomposers give out carbon dioxide which is needed for plants to photosynthesise and make food. So by speeding the rate of decomposition, plants can live healthier.
