If there were no decomposers, all the plants and animals who have died would still be laying around on the ground and at the bottom of the rivers and seas. Life itself would stop. Within the decomposers live bacteria and other single celled organisms called protists, which help digest the dead matter. The nutrients locked in dead leaves and animals are then returned to the earth to be used by living organisms.
