Detritivores, Decomposers or saprotrophs(bacteria, fungi, and various types of worms) are organisms that feed on dead plants and animals and help recycle them by breaking them down into simpler molecules so that they can be absorbed by new plants.

Scavengers and decomposers.

Scavengers are animals that eat dead animals before the decomposers get to them.

Decomposers are small animals (e.g. earthworms) and microorganisms (e.g. bacteria and fungi) that break down dead plant and animal material into their basic components that can be used by plants.
