decomposes break down the remains of dead plants and animals.
When plants and animals (any living matter) decay, their remains are in the soil, in the material called humus.
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.
The study of plants and animal remains is known as paleobotany and paleozoology. These fields involve examining fossilized plant and animal remains to understand their anatomy, ecology, evolution, and their interactions with the environment. It provides insights into the history of life on Earth and helps reconstruct ancient ecosystems.
