Decomposers obtain food by, obliviousely, decomposing rotting plants, leaves etc. They also might eat dead animals.
Neither, they are omnivores but with the capability to destroy when they need to do so to obtain food or protect their food.
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.

Decomposers get their energy from absorbing food from dead organisms. Thanks for a great question! From Andres914. They get energy from dead animals or plants they find on earth. They are a lot like scavengers. From fattyboy8
Heterotrophs obtain energy from the food they eat. They are unable to produce their own food through photosynthesis and rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter to obtain energy.
No, cockles are not decomposers. They are bivalve mollusks that are filter feeders, meaning they obtain their food by filtering small particles from the water. They help in maintaining water quality by filtering out organic matter.
Organisms that break down wastes an dead organisms and return the raw material to the environment are called decomposers.
Peccaries are consumers as they obtain their energy by consuming organic matter, such as plants, fruits, and small animals. They are part of the food chain as consumers, rather than being decomposers or producers.
Decomposers like mushrooms obtain energy by breaking down organic matter from other organisms, making them heterotrophs because they cannot produce their own food. Autotrophs, on the other hand, can create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
decomposers
Fungi and bacteria are both decomposers. decomposers get nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter. while the exact process of ingesting the nutrients may be different, the basic idea is the same.
Since decomposers are organisms that make their own food, I think cactuses are decomposers
