Decomposers are bacteria or fungus which consumes or feeds off the dead remains of the plant or animal.They help to bring back nutrients from the organism to soil i.e Earth which is useful for plants.
And cycle goes on and on, animal eats plant and they nutrients come back into soil.

Decomposers play a very important role in the food web as they are responsible for the recycling of all the nutrients and they put these nutrients back into the earth/soil for plants to use. (They basically recycle all dead matter for plants to grow. Next, the consumers will eat the plants, and the secondary consumers will eat the tertiary consumers. Later, they all eventually die and this is where the decomposers come in to 'recycle' all the dead matter, which is used again by plants and put back in the food web in the form of nutrients, etc, etc... it goes on and on and on in a circle)
hope that helped :D

The decomposers play the part of being consumed by the consumres.

Who uses the food chain?
The producers (plants), the consumers (animals) and the decomposers (bacteria) use the food chain.
How are producers consumers carnivores and scavenger and decomposers linked in a food chain?
they each use plants for energy or use it to gain food or make food
How are producers consumers herbivore carnivores and scavengers and decomposers linked in a food chain?
they each use plants for energy or use it to gain food or make food
Is decomposer a carnivorous animal?
Decomposers use dead plants and animals as their food. Decomposers are not carnivores because they do not kill the animals; the animals are already dead.
What is the sourc of all food energy on earth?
decomposers
Use decomposer in a sentence?
Decomposers connect each end of a food chain.
A cactuses decomposers or consumers?
Since decomposers are organisms that make their own food, I think cactuses are decomposers
What if there are too many decomposers?
The decomposers would run out of food (for them) to decompose.
How is fungi different for plants?
They do not use photosynthesis. Also, they are decomposers when regular plants are producers. (Decomposers break down dead things, and producers produce their own food)
Which organisms in your food web is decomposers?
which organisms in your food web are decomposers
What is transferred from producers to consumers and decomposers in the food chain?
Energy is transferred betweenproducers to consumers and decomposers in the food chain.
What are the nutrient sources for some decomposers?
Decomposers, such as fungi and some bacteria, use waste products (feces) from other organisms and other the dead bodies of other organisms as food.
