Decomposition is kind of like recycling - all the nutrients that make up the organism that has died are eaten by smaller organisms for food and energy - in the process they provide food for other organisms (think of earthworms and birds for one example) as well as releasing the nutrients back to a form that can be used by plants to produce more food.
