There are several insects that do this; but I believe you are referring to an earth worm. They will tunnel through the earth, eating dead/decaying matter as well as dirt.

Why are decomposers categorized as consumers and how do they differ?

A consumer is anything that takes organic material and transforms (digests) it into energy. We are consumers because we eat plants and animals, but almost all plants are not consumers -- they are called producers. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down organic material for energy, so they are also consumers. However, unlike other consumers, they exist in all tropic levels. Because they are indiscriminatory with regards to what they consume, they can decompose plants as well as animals. This allows them to be primary consumers, secondary consumers, or tertiary/quaternary consumers; or exist in many levels simultaneously.
