In the sense that soil nutrients often come from decaying matter (nitrogen etc) any plant growing in soil could be seen as consuming that, however because it does not consume the decaying matter _directly_ I don't think sunflowers qualify as detrivore, but a pitcher plant might.

No a sunflower is not a detritivore.
I've attached an image of an earthworm. Earthworms are classic examples of detritivores because they consume organic material from the soil.
Detritivores, are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus. There are many kinds of invertebrates, vertebrates and plants that carry out coprophagy
