Dead animals and plants are broken down by decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and insects. These organisms feed on the decaying matter, breaking it down into simpler substances that can be recycled back into the ecosystem.
Organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plants and animals are called decomposers. They play a crucial role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem and facilitating the decomposition process. Examples include bacteria, fungi, and some insects.
Dead plants,animals. Fungi are decomposer's thus the need for dead things. Decomposer's are like sponges, they suck all what is(nutrients & minerals) left out of the Dead or "Decaying" plants/animal.

Plants are living organisms that obtain energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing oxygen, food, and habitats for other organisms. They do not consume dead plants or animals for nutrition, as they have specialized mechanisms for obtaining nutrients from the soil and atmosphere.
