One of the most important aspects of soil is the decaying remains of animals. The nutrients that come from the bodies are what help plants grow.

How are nutrients trapped in the dead remains of planta and animals?
By the decomposers breaking down the dead bodies and faeces of organisms(In the process of decomposition).Then carbon dioxide is produced(In process of combustion).
Where do decomposers get their nutrients from?
Decomposers get their nutrients from dead and decaying organisms.
Decomposers break down dead organisms and produce?
Decomposers break down dead organisms which produce carbon dioxide and nutrients. These nutrients are then used by other organisms such as plants.
What proceed allows bacteria to recycle organic nutrients by breaking down dead organisms?
it's called decomposing (I think) because it breaks down from other organisms (hope this helps!)
What down dead organisms into simpler forms?
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.
What is organisms such as fungi that break down and absorb nutrients from dead organisms?
Decomposers :)

Why are decomposers so important in food chains and food webs?
When organic matter decomposes, it becomes fertilizer, releasing nutrients that plants need in order to grow. It is basically a recycling process. If this was not happening, soil fertility would become exhausted as plants continue to take minerals out of the soil.
