A decomposer such as plankton, bacteria, or fugi, are not herbivores-plant eaters, carnivores-meat eaters, or omnivores-plant and meat eaters. So how do they get food and energy you ask. Well they break down dead animals into nutrients. The nutrients goes into the soil, and helps a new plant grow. You might have seen a vulture eating something on the side of the road or something, but that is NOT a decomposer. That is a scavenger. They get enerygy by eating dead animals. You might even say they are lasy because they eat animals that are already dead. They don't really do much work. Sorry if I over-informed you.
The three energy roles in an ecosystem are producers, consumers, and decomposers. ;)
No it's a decomposer
What is a non example of a decomposer?
Yes coral is a decomposer because
Algae is an example of a decomposer in a river.

The platypus gains energy by eating other organisms, meaning it is a carnivore. A platypus is not a decomposer because decomposers gain energy by decomposing dead organisms.

A daffodil is a producer! (It is also an autotroph) It produces its own energy from the sunlight through photosynthesis, so that consumers (herbivores or omnivores) can CONSUME it for their own source of energy. It is not a decomposer; an example of a decomposer is different types of fungi. Hope this helped!

The Earthworm is at the bottom of the Energy Pyramid. It is a decomposer.
Energy flows in one direction from producer to consumer to decomposer.
