Soil is produced when organic materials (humus, compost, leaf-mould, etc) is added to the fine-grained debris of rock erosion.
breaks down organic matter
Before plants can reuse many organic materials, the materials must be broken down by decomposers like bacteria and fungi. These decomposers break down complex organic matter into simpler forms that can be absorbed by plants. This process of breaking down organic materials is known as decomposition.
The digestive system carries out the organic functions of ingestion, digestion, and excretion. It breaks down food into nutrients for absorption and eliminates waste materials from the body through the processes of digestion and excretion.
Most oceanic gas hydrates are created when microbial activity breaks down organic matter trapped in ocean-floor sediments. These microbes decompose the organic material, producing methane as a byproduct. Under specific conditions of low temperature and high pressure, this methane can then combine with water to form gas hydrates. This process is crucial for the formation of gas hydrates in marine environments.
The digestive system takes in materials through the mouth, breaks them down into simpler substances through the process of digestion, and absorbs nutrients into the body to provide energy and support various bodily functions.
Organic materials (food) decomposes or rots when their chemical make up breaks down and other things form and grow

Organic matter breaks down (decays) to form humus.

It breaks down and digests materials.

Organic matter breaks down into smaller molecules such as carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This process is facilitated by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi that decompose the organic material.
A biodigester is an anaerobic digestion system that breaks down organic materials like food waste or manure to produce biogas and fertilizers. It is an environmentally friendly way to manage organic waste while generating renewable energy.
