Decomposers are the organisms responsible for recycling waste and dead material, breaking them down into simpler components that can be used by other living organisms. Consumers are organisms that directly feed on other organisms for energy.
Organic material contains organic compounds from the remains of dead organisms and their waste products.
Dead plants can decompose and be broken down by fungi, bacteria, and other organisms. These organisms help break down the dead plant material into simpler nutrients that can then be reused by other living plants.
Decomposers feed on dead organic matter such as fallen leaves, dead animals, and decaying plant material. They break down this organic material into simpler compounds, returning nutrients back into the ecosystem for other living organisms to use.
Sedimentary rock forms when material from dead plants and animals, along with other debris, is compacted and cemented over time. This process creates rock layers rich in organic material, such as coal or limestone, from the remains of living organisms.
Organisms that feed on dead material in this way are called saprophytes.

Decomposers eat dead material. Most decomposers are fungus and bacteria. However, mosquito larvae does not eat dead organic material, and therefore is not a decomposer.
No. Maggots are living organisms. Fecal mater is dead cells and other waste material. Nothing living comes from something dead. But eggs (living) that hatch when flies (living) lay them on fecal mater can be produced.
Dead plants can decompose and be broken down by fungi, bacteria, and other organisms. These organisms help break down the dead plant material into simpler nutrients that can then be reused by other living plants.
Oil comes from fossil fuel and oil is mainly dead plants organisms.
fungus
Organic material in the soil usually comes from decomposed plants or animals that died there. Their nutrients that have built up as they were living get transferred into the soil when they break down.
Dead and decaying material produced in soil is called organic matter. This material consists of decomposed plant and animal residues, such as leaves, roots, and organisms, which add nutrients to the soil and improve its structure.
