it is a detrivore
Ground-dwelling invertebrates that eat decaying organic matter include earthworms, beetles (such as dung beetles), millipedes, and soil mites. These organisms play a crucial role in the decomposition process, breaking down organic matter into smaller pieces and returning nutrients to the soil.
Decaying organic matter refers to plant or animal material that is in the process of breaking down and decomposing. This process is carried out by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which feed on the organic material and break it down into simpler substances. Decaying organic matter plays a critical role in nutrient cycling and soil fertility in ecosystems.
The difference is that is that detritivore feeds on large parts of decaying plant, animal matter, and on waste material. A decomposer consumes and breaks down dead organisms or waste matter into simple substances. They both get nutrition from dead organic matter. The difference is that detritivores actually eat the organic matter (like earthworms eating their way through the soil) and decomposers secrete enzymes to digest the organic matter and then absorb the resulting molecules (like bacteria or fungi do).
the decaying matter in soil is called humus.
They Live of live or Dead Organic matter

Decaying organic matter in the soil is called humus. When it is added to the soil deliberately, it is called compost.

A scavenger is an animal that feeds on decaying organic matter and refuse. Examples include vultures, crows, and certain types of beetles. They play a vital role in recycling nutrients in the ecosystem.
Worms eat decaying organic matter.

in my opion i don't like organic stuff

continental shelf. My question was : Decaying organic matter and sediment are found in the ocean's... But the answer you provided me wasn't right. The right answer was : Abyssal Plains.
