A worm that breaks down dead organisms is typically a type of detritivore, such as earthworms. These worms consume decaying organic matter, helping to decompose it and recycle nutrients back into the soil. This process enhances soil fertility, promotes healthy plant growth, and supports ecosystem balance. Their digestive processes help break down complex organic materials into simpler forms that can be utilized by other organisms.

The soil bacteria that breaks down large chemicals in dead organisms into smaller ones is known as decomposers. These decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi, play a crucial role in the decomposition process, breaking down complex organic matter into simpler compounds that can be recycled back into the ecosystem.
