Only in the short run, for most floating things eventually become waterlogged and sink. This is how most of our coal was formed.
The dark decaying matter in soil is called humus. Humus is a rich organic material that forms as plant and animal remains decompose, contributing to soil fertility and structure.
Decaying matter found in soil is organic material that undergoes decomposition. This process is primarily carried out by various microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, breaking down the organic matter into simpler compounds. These decomposed materials enrich the soil with nutrients essential for plant growth.
Decaying material in the soil is called, "Humus". (HYOO-muss)
Porous lava rock is called pumice. If placed in water, it would float as it possesses a density that is less than water.
Soils are composed of mineral particles, organic matter, water, air, and living organisms. Mineral particles come from the weathering of rocks, while organic matter includes decaying plant and animal material. Water and air are essential for soil health, and living organisms, such as bacteria and earthworms, help break down organic matter and cycle nutrients.
Oomycetes
Decaying matter normally goes to the ground but can be used as fertalizer. Sometimes marshy water, (I think it was something like that) is made up of decaying animals of plants.

Decaying matter is natural in a body of water, it is natural in any environment. However a large amount of decaying matter in a body of water could lead to a dead zone. This is because if there is a disruption in the food web of that body of water it could kill many organisms. If many animals die, the decaying takes more oxygen out of the water than can be replaced and you are left with a body of water that has no oxygen called a dead zone.
water mold
It's a fish that doesn't move or function and it floats. They are poisonous so don't touch them or you'll die. If it's decaying that means that the fish scales are falling off and being absorbed by the water which would make the water toxic.
They feed on decaying matter. (ie- plants and animals)

Water molds (oomycetes) are the funguslike protists that thrive on dead or decaying organic matter in water. They obtain nutrients through absorption and play an important role in the decomposition of organic material in aquatic environments.
Decaying matter typically breaks down into simpler compounds like carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients. These compounds are often reused by plants and other organisms in the ecosystem. In nature, the decomposition process is facilitated by decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and insects.
It is decaying matter that is submerged under water. It will rest on the bottom of rivers and lakes. It is simply dead material decaying. Plants animals etc. Hexagena limbata flies tend to proliferate in it.
sea cucumber eats decaying matter in the sand and water in the sea or ocean.
