Bacteria and other small organisms, such as insects are responsible for the decay of dead organisms.

Decomposers eat the dead organisms. For example, worms and weeds, and sometimes scavengers like crows, vultures and ravens, eat dead organisms. EDIT: Bacteria
The term for an organism that causes decay is decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi. they chemically break down organic matter for food. the decay caused by the decomposers is part of a process that produces detritus, small pieces of dead and decaying plant/animal remains.

From dead and decay matter.

I think its called a decomposer.
Decomposers - usually microbes are responsible for breaking dead organisms down into their simple forms. This process is responsible for the recycling nutrients back into the environment. An example of a decomposer is bacteria.

Dead organisms (unless specially preserved) will decay, and the soft tissue will rot and eventually disappear, leaving behind only bones or shells (for those organisms that have bones or shells).
