The decomposers are at the top of a food web because they decompose dead bodies, but then there will be an arrow coming from the decomposer all the way back to the bottom of the food web because it provides soil i guess to provide energy for the plants at the bottom of the web. So it's basically connected to both the top and the bottom of the food web.
