Millipedes, slugs, woodlice, and worms prey on dead organic matter.But scientifically speaking, decomposers turn dead organic matter into inorganic matter. That's one of their important contributions to the nutrient cycle. In that regard then, bacteria and fungi are the only true decomposers from the examples given above.
