When a plant/animal dies, the soft parts of the body swiftly become decayed, and decompose via organisms called decomposers. If they are near trees or other plants or fungi, they might become become absorbed for nutrients through the soil.
decomposers like worms and fungi eat it
When a plant or animal dies, its remains decompose, but sometimes they can become preserved in sedimentary rock or hardened resin, forming fossils. Hard parts like bones, shells, and teeth have a better chance of becoming fossilized compared to soft tissues, which decay more quickly. This is why fossils of hard parts are more commonly found in the fossil record.
The plant or animal is said to have become extinct.
They Leave Behind Bones or leaves from whatever they were.
Umm, plant or animal death, it has no special name.
As the body of the plant or animal decomposes or is is eaten the phosphates are used by the consuming organisms.
extinct
That's called extinction.
The typical sequence or order of fossilization is when a plant or animal dies parts are preserved by freezing, mummification, distillation, or permineralization.
A fossil is the prehistoric remains of a plant or animal. After an animal or plant dies, it may be buried under many layers of mud, sand, or rock, and under intense pressure a replica of that animal or plant is formed from minerals.
When an organism dies, its soft parts often decay quickly or are eaten by animals
The nitrogen goes into the soil and then into the atmosphere through denitrification ;)
