The term "final consumer" is more commonly used in marketing.

In terms of ecology, decomposers live by constantly breaking down and absorbing organic material which can be alive or dead, which is done on a molecular level. An example of this is fungus on trees.

You may have the word "detritivore" in mind, which can break down feces, animal flesh, and other organic matter. Although they are not specifically referred to as final consumers, they do consume consumers at the top of the food chain after their death. Since they are the last consumers before the organic matter is reduced to soil, they can be considered "final" consumers.

How do producer consumers and decomposers depend on each other?

Good question. Firstly, producers get their energy energy from the sun through photosynthesis, creating or producing nutrients in the plant. A herbivore consumer can then eat it getting it's nutrients so, consumers rely on producers for their food but decomposers rely on a carnivore or omnivore (consumer) to eat some species of a consumer. The decomposer, lets say a earth worm eats and consumes the rest of the animal breaking it down to it's core nutrients. So I guess you could say decomposers rely on carnivores/omnivores to kill each other and herbivores, and herbivores/omnivores rely on producers for nutrients to eat.
