A decomposer
An animal that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms is called a scavenger. Scavengers play an important role in the ecosystem by helping to recycle nutrients and organic matter. Examples of scavengers include vultures, hyenas, and beetles.
Nutrients are constantly being passed between organisms and the environment. This happens when decomposers break down the dead organisms putting it back in the soil.

Saprotrophic fungus obtains nutrients by decomposing dead or decaying organic matter. It plays a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem by breaking down complex organic molecules into simpler forms that can be used by other organisms. Examples include molds, yeasts, and certain mushrooms.
Dead organisms and waste products are broken down by decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. This process of decomposition releases nutrients back into the environment, allowing them to be recycled and used by other living organisms.
Saprotrophic fungi obtain their nutrients from dead organic matter. These fungi play a crucial role in the decomposition process in ecosystems by breaking down dead organisms and recycling nutrients back into the environment. Examples include molds and some mushrooms.
