Nope actually, a tapeworm is a parasite. A parasite can only survive inside a host organism, it feeds off of the nutrients of this host. Most worms are parasites, which is why they cause so many problems for the humans they live in. Decomposer's however, such as fungus, secrete digestive juices on a nearby organism and absorb it's nutrients.
