All living things use reduction reactions in some form, even plants whose main contribution to the food chain is the formation of simple carbohydrates. When sunlight is not available for photosynthesis, plants metabolize (oxidize) these products for energy.
worms are an organism and when they die they decay in the soil. They release ammonium which is oxidised to nitrite by (Nitrosomonas) several specialist bacteria genera. After this the nitrite is oxidised to nitrate by one specialist bacterial group named Nitrobacter. This occurs when oxygen is present. This can the be taken up by plants and everyone is happy. apart from the dead worm. In anaerobic conditions it creates N2O and N2 gas which smells and doesn't help plants and everyone is sad.
NB other organisms also decay but worms are the best.
Organisms that break down substances of dead organisms are called decomposers. Some examples of decomposers are soil bacteria, fungi, or invertebrates.
It's call a fungus or if you want the plural form it's call fungi.
lactobacills bacteria
It eats undigested matter or food

worms
Earthworms are mostly saprophytic in nature. They eat soil which inturn provides them with the dead decaying organic matter inside the soil.
There are differing types of marshland. A common type of soil found in marshland is peat. Peat is a turf made from decaying vegetation.
Soil consists of matter from dead or decaying organisms, nitrates, granular particles from rocks, and much, much more. Soil consistency depends heavily on where you are referring. Specify a location, such as an ecosystem or a region, and you might be able to get a better answer.
birds depend on the worms for food. also other organisms living in the soil depend on it because they leave holes in the soil and make it fertile an the holes need to be there so water and air can travel down there. without worms the organisms wouldnt be able to breathe or drink
By its cast or waste product. The cast can tell what the worm has been eating.
Decaying organisms.
the decaying organisms create bacteria and fungi
One of the most important aspects of soil is the decaying remains of animals. The nutrients that come from the bodies are what help plants grow.
This organic material is made up of living organisms such as plants and animals, dead plants and animals, and nutrients that have come from decomposed plants and animals.
Yes it can, a decaying body is essentially fertilizer and nourishment for the soil.
Decaying material in the soil is called, "Humus". (HYOO-muss)
The inorganic component is weathered rock. The organic component is dead or decaying organisms collectively called humus.
Decaying organic matter in the soil is called humus. When it is added to the soil deliberately, it is called compost.
The decaying leaves are returning nutrient to the soil. The undecayed parts help to improve the soil.
'Decomposition' for decaying plant and animal organic material. 'Detritus' for inorganic decaying material in soil. Hope this helps, John
Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms
