the plankton is the single-celled organism that eats dead organism.

Decomposers such as fungi and bacteria
Dead plants and animals are consumed by decomposers such as bacteria and fungi.
I don't know that is why im asking! How stupid do they think we are?
Decomposers like certain bacteria, such as Bacillus and Clostridium species, break down dead organisms into simpler compounds to obtain nutrients for growth and reproduction. These bacteria play a crucial role in recycling nutrients and breaking down organic matter in ecosystems.

Decomposers like bacteria help break down dead organisms into simpler substances. Some examples of bacteria that play this role include species like Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Clostridium. These bacteria help in the recycling of nutrients in ecosystems.

An organism that eats live or freshly killed decomposers is a consumer. That could be a rodent eating a mushroom or a bird eating an earthworm. If the decomposers that are being consumed are already dead and decaying, and if they are being reduced to basic nutrients, then the eating organism is a decomposer. It will probably be a bacteria or fungus or earthworm or fly maggot.
Organisms that eat dead organic matter are known as decomposers. These include bacteria, fungi, and certain types of insects and worms. Decomposers play a vital role in breaking down dead plants and animals, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
