The decomposers are at the top of a food web because they decompose dead bodies, but then there will be an arrow coming from the decomposer all the way back to the bottom of the food web because it provides soil i guess to provide energy for the plants at the bottom of the web. So it's basically connected to both the top and the bottom of the food web.
we are not sure
which organisms in your food web are decomposers
They are at the bottom of the food web since it is a fungi or moss.
Decomposers are typically placed at the bottom of a food web to show their role in breaking down dead organisms and organic matter. They help recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem for other organisms to use. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria play a crucial role in the food web by breaking down organic matter and returning essential nutrients to the soil.
Decomposers eat dead material and make it into something that enriches the soil such as worms.

Decomposers
Decomposers break down dead animals, therefore they are good to the plants (producers) which are the base of the food chain/web.
Decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi, play a crucial role in the food web by breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. This process enriches the soil, making essential nutrients available for primary producers like plants, which are the foundation of the food web. Without decomposers, ecosystems would become overwhelmed with waste, and nutrient cycling would be disrupted, ultimately impacting all levels of the food web. Their role ensures a balanced and sustainable environment for all living organisms.
Fungi have the role of decomposers in the food chain.
