Decomposers break down matter from dead organisms into simpler substances that can be recycled in ecosystems.

Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up. GROSSS

There are two kinds of decomposers, scavengers and decomposers.

Nigriceps ants are not primary decomposers, as they do not feed on dead organic matter exclusively.
