Heterotrophs or consumers - including herbivores, omnivores and carnivores.
A decomposer is an organism that obtains its energy from nonliving organic matter. Decomposers break down dead plants and animals, as well as other organic materials, into simpler compounds, releasing energy in the process. Examples of decomposers include fungi, bacteria, and certain types of worms.
The organism that obtains its energy from dead or decaying matter is a decomposer. Examples of decomposers include fungi, bacteria, and certain insects. Groundhogs, on the other hand, are herbivores and primarily consume live plant material. They do not obtain energy from dead or decaying matter.
The process by which an organism obtains food is called feeding or nutrition. It involves the ingestion, digestion, absorption, and assimilation of nutrients from the food source to meet the organism's energy and growth requirements.
An organism that obtains energy from the food it consumes is known as a heterotroph. Heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and many bacteria, which rely on consuming organic matter for energy and nutrients. They break down complex food substances through digestion to release energy for their metabolic processes. In contrast to autotrophs, which produce their own energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, heterotrophs depend on other organisms for sustenance.
An organism that obtains energy by feeding on other organisms is called a consumer or a heterotroph.
