which organisms in your food web are decomposers
Decomposers must be added to any food chain or food web to form a complete food cycle.

Decomposers are typically placed at the bottom of a food web to show their role in breaking down dead organisms and organic matter. They help recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem for other organisms to use. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria play a crucial role in the food web by breaking down organic matter and returning essential nutrients to the soil.
The bottom of the food web, usually bacteria or fungi. The break down dead organic matter.
They are at the bottom of the food web since it is a fungi or moss.
Yes, a food web illustrates the flow of energy and nutrients through an ecosystem by showing the feeding relationships among different organisms. It includes producers, consumers, and decomposers, depicting who eats whom and how energy is transferred within the ecosystem.
Since decomposers are organisms that make their own food, I think cactuses are decomposers
decomposers
Yes, decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down the bodies of dead organisms into simpler substances, which are then recycled back into the ecosystem. This process releases nutrients that can be utilized by producers (plants) to support the food web.
Yes, that is the effect of what decomposers do. However they are only doing what every other organism does: eating to meet their nutritional needs! The eat the food they evolved to eat, which just happens to be dead organisms and the excrement of living organisms. Their dead bodies and excrement is then recycled to the food web and something else depends on that for its nutrition. You do the same thing, but humans evolved to eat a mixture of plants and animals that we have killed. Our dead bodies and excrement become food to decomposers. Occasionally our bodies are eaten by predators in our environment. Thus we are recycled to the food web and something else depends on that for its nutrition.
