Decomposers eat dead organic matter such as fallen leaves, dead animals, and plant material. They break down this organic material into simpler compounds, releasing nutrients back into the environment for other organisms to use.
The top layer of soil, known as the organic horizon or O horizon, contains the most decayed organic material. This layer consists of partially decomposed plant and animal matter, such as leaves, twigs, and dead organisms.
If the layer is of dead plants, it is a compressed layer known as a coal seam.
decomposers are little animals that eat over the dead material left from other animals. decomposers are little animals that eat over the dead material left from other animals.

Animals that live on bacteria include paramecium and amoeba. Besides eating bacteria, these organisms can also exist on algae and dead plant and animal material.
Decomposers feed on dead organic matter such as fallen leaves, dead animals, and decaying plant material. They break down this organic material into simpler compounds, returning nutrients back into the ecosystem for other living organisms to use.
Coal is formed through a process called coalification, where layers of plant material are buried and compressed over millions of years. The plant material is first transformed into peat through decay, then undergoes further compaction and heating to form lignite, then into sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal, and finally anthracite with increasing pressure and heat. Each layer represents a different stage in the coalification process, resulting in different types of coal.
