A sunflower is a producer. It is not a decomposer.
You will usually find a decomposer living near or around other dead organisms. This includes on the bottom of the forest.
A non-example of a decomposer would be a predator that actively hunts and consumes other organisms for food without breaking down dead organic matter.
Yes, a decomposer can be decomposed, as they are living organisms that eventually die and become part of the nutrient cycle. Additionally, decomposers can decompose other decomposers, as they break down organic matter, including the remains of other organisms, regardless of their role in the ecosystem. This process contributes to the recycling of nutrients in the environment.
A wallaby is not a decomposer. It is a consumer.
A jaguar is a consumer. Jaguars are carnivores that eat other animals but do not produce their own food.
A shrimp is a consumer, because it does not make its own food. A shrimp eats seaweed and some other plants.
