Saprophytic fungi
Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).
Worms primarily feed on decaying organic matter such as leaves, rather than living plants like grass. They help break down dead plant material, making nutrients more accessible for plants and aiding in the decomposition process.
Carnivores that eat animals that are already dead are known as scavengers. These animals feed on carrion, which is the flesh of dead animals that they find in the environment. Scavengers play an important role in cleaning up the ecosystem by recycling nutrients from decaying organic matter.
River shrimp are opportunistic feeders, consuming a variety of plant matter, detritus, algae, small invertebrates, and organic debris present in their habitat. They are also known to scavenge on dead animals and decaying organic matter.
they eat decaying plants and SOME living plants
Fungus or Fungi
Only fungi feed on dead or decaying matter.
pollen
Detrivores .
Isopods are scavengers, so they eat mostly rotten plants and animals
cat dog mice
Sea roaches are isopods and they live on the land near water. They eat both decaying and dead sea animals and plants.
they eat dead grass or decaying plants and animals and sometimes can eat living plants but there really hard for them to chew.
Herbivores: Animals that primarily eat plants and vegetation. Carnivores: Animals that primarily eat other animals. Omnivores: Animals that eat both plants and other animals. Detritivores: Animals that feed on dead and decaying organic matter.
