Because plants absorb nutrients from the plants and animals.
Decomposers reintroduce a dead animal into an ecosystem by creating fuel for plants. The dead animal decomposes and creates nutrients for plant growth.
They become food for other organisms, they decompose and ultimately the become part of the soil
Decomposers, such as bacteria, fungi, and insects, break down the remains of dead plants and animals into simpler substances like nutrients that can be recycled back into the ecosystem. They play a vital role in the ecosystem by helping to decompose organic matter and enrich the soil.

Saprophytes are plants and fungi that thrive on dead tissues of plants and animals. They play a vital role in decomposition by breaking down organic matter into nutrients that can be recycled in the ecosystem. Examples include mushrooms, mold, and some types of bacteria.
When an animal eats a dead animal, it helps recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. This process helps maintain the balance of nutrients in the environment and provides food for scavengers and decomposers. Additionally, it helps prevent the spread of diseases by removing carcasses.
Decomposers break down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and animal remains, into simpler compounds. This process releases nutrients back into the ecosystem, making them available for plants and other organisms. Without decomposers, nutrients would be locked up in dead matter and unavailable for recycling, leading to nutrient depletion in the ecosystem.
Dead animals and plants decompose after some time
Dead animals and plants decompose after some time
If all the decomposers were to die, there would be no organic nutrients and all the dead plants would ruin the animals' habitat; the ecosystem would be filled with plant and animal waste, and there would be no decomposition of waste material.
