Organic matter in a compost bin decomposes as a result of bacteria action.
Fungi give off powerful digestive enzymes that break down organic matter. This happens

It is easy to mistake an Earthworm as an autotroph (an organism that synthesizes its own energy from inorganic sources) because it consumes soil and dirt. However, soil actually contains organic matter. By definition, a heterotroph is an organism that consumes organic matter for energy. An earthworm is therefore a heterotroph, not an autotroph.
Because it consumes organic matter (in this instance, plants) in order to obtain energy. If it was an autotroph, it would obtain energy by creating sugar from photosynthesis.
Yes, garter snakes are vertebrates. They have a backbone. All snakes and all reptiles for that matter are vertebrates.
Organic matter is organic compounds or mixtures of organic compounds.
Yes.There is organic matter and inorganic matter. Everything is chemical.
A rolly polly (or woodlouse) typically consumes dead or living plants, organic matter, or some other sort of organic vegetation.
Whether garter belts are comfortable or not is a matter of opinion. Different companies and styles can be more comfortable then others.
The difference is that is that detritivore feeds on large parts of decaying plant, animal matter, and on waste material. A decomposer consumes and breaks down dead organisms or waste matter into simple substances. They both get nutrition from dead organic matter. The difference is that detritivores actually eat the organic matter (like earthworms eating their way through the soil) and decomposers secrete enzymes to digest the organic matter and then absorb the resulting molecules (like bacteria or fungi do).
