detritivores
The substratum is typically made up of organic matter, such as dead plant material, animal remains, and decomposing organisms. It also includes minerals, nutrients, and microorganisms essential for supporting plant growth and ecosystem function.
maggots and worms
Omnivores feed on both animals and plants.
Fossils may be either Plant or Animal in "origin".
Detritivores feed on dead plant and animal remains.
The uppermost layer of the soil, known as the O Horizon, contains the highest amount of organic material. This layer consists of decomposing plant and animal matter, as well as living organisms like fungi and insects that aid in the decomposition process.
Organic Matter
The remains of an animal. -------------------------- Fossils are the remains of a dead plant or animal that have been preserved for a long time.
The five kingdoms in biodiversity are Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protist, and Monera. The Animal kingdom includes multicellular organisms with specialized cells, while Plant kingdom comprises multicellular photosynthetic organisms. Fungi are multicellular eukaryotes that obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter. Protists are a diverse group of mostly unicellular eukaryotes, and Monera consists of unicellular prokaryotes like bacteria.
Mushrooms are living fungi that aid in decomposing dead animal and plant matter.
The O horizon, also known as the organic horizon, is composed of organic materials such as decomposing plant litter (leaves, twigs), animal remains, and living organisms like insects and microorganisms. It is the topmost layer of the soil profile and plays a critical role in nutrient cycling and soil fertility.
