Non-parasitic roundworms, such as those belonging to the phylum Nematoda, primarily feed on organic matter, bacteria, fungi, and decomposing plant material in their environments. Some species are predatory and consume other small organisms, including other nematodes and microorganisms. Their feeding habits play a crucial role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems, contributing to soil health and fertility.
