Plants are not decomposers. They are producers.
Decomposers in water include bacteria, fungi, and some types of algae. They break down organic matter in the water, such as dead plants and animals, into simpler compounds that can then be used by other organisms in the ecosystem. Decomposers play a vital role in recycling nutrients in aquatic environments.
No. Things are produced from raw materials, and consumed by others. But the "things" - whatever they are, from leaves to airplanes - don't live or last forever. Something or someone needs to convert the dead or useless "things" back into reusable materials. Trees and other plants grow, consuming elements from the soil, water from the rain, and carbon dioxide from the air. They produce leaves, fruit, and seeds. Animals eat the leaves and fruit (and other animals will eat THESE animals), and also consume water. The digestive systems of the various animals have their own "decomposers", converting food and water into feces and urine. Bacteria and scavenger animals convert the feces, urine, and the bodies of dead animals back into nutrients for trees and plants.
Fungi can be decomposers, but some can also be mutualists or pathogens. Animals can be consumers, but some also play roles as decomposers or producers. Bacteria can be decomposers, but some also carry out processes like nitrogen fixation. Plants are considered primary producers, creating energy through photosynthesis.
Yes, microbes are decomposers, specifically bacteria and fungi. They play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into simpler compounds, which helps to recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Decomposers

Yes, trees and grasses are decomposers.
Apple trees are not decomposers. They are producers.
mushrooms, trees, bacteria, and sometimes insects.
Oak trees, like most plants, are producers.
Yes mushrooms are decomposers.
deer trees decomposers
In a deciduous forest, little water is available (due to the low temperature). Because of this, trees will shed their leaves until moisture returns. Then the decomposers break down the leaves for the trees to use. If there were no decomposers, the trees would not get sufficient water.
Apple trees are not decomposers. They are producers.
are they producers, decomposers, consumers, or abiotic factors
Oak trees interact with the things that eat the bark or the acorns. It also interacts by growing and shedding leaves
The type of decomposers that live in a woodland biome would be mushrooms, fungi, and moss. All of these organisms normally can be found on the sides of trees or in moist soil.
