A necativore is an organism that primarily feeds on dead or decaying organic matter. This term is often used to describe certain types of scavengers, such as certain fungi, bacteria, or animals that consume carrion. By breaking down this material, necativores play a crucial role in nutrient recycling within ecosystems. This process helps maintain ecosystem balance and supports the growth of new life.
