Do tapeworms decompose

Answer 1

Tapeworms themselves do not decompose in the traditional sense, as they are parasitic organisms living within the intestines of their hosts. When a tapeworm dies, its body may be broken down by the host's digestive processes or by bacteria and other microorganisms in the environment once it is expelled. However, tapeworms are not typically found outside their hosts long enough to undergo significant decomposition. Instead, they rely on their host for sustenance and reproduction during their life cycle.
