What happens to the matter in the body of an animal after it dies?
After an animal dies, the body undergoes decomposition. Bacteria, fungi, and other decomposers break down the organic matter, returning nutrients to the environment. This process helps enrich the soil and supports the growth of new organisms.
What is decaying plants and animal remains called?
When plants and animals (any living matter) decay, their remains are in the soil, in the material called humus.
What are things that eat dead or decaying objects?

What do worms have for shelter?
Worms generally prey on decaying matters (human, animal or vegetal). So they can be found in any fertile soil (on land or waters), in vegetal, animal or human decays and inside living bodies where matters are being decayed (usually intestines).
How do burrowing animals enrich the soil with substances that the soil needs?
Small burrowing animals, such as voles, dig tunnels in the ground. Burrowing loosens small rocks and sediment in soil. The animal pushes these small pieces of rock to the surface. Once these small rocks and sediment are out of the ground, other weathering processes act on them. Hope this paragraph answered your question! From: RocioSmart4235

What is the upper layer of soil that contains decaying animal and plant matter?
topsoil
What is decaying matter found in soil?
Decaying matter found in soil is organic material that undergoes decomposition. This process is primarily carried out by various microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, breaking down the organic matter into simpler compounds. These decomposed materials enrich the soil with nutrients essential for plant growth.
What is the name of the dark decaying matter is soil?
The dark decaying matter in soil is called humus. Humus is a rich organic material that forms as plant and animal remains decompose, contributing to soil fertility and structure.
What part of the soil is formed by the decaying plant and animal remains?
The uppermost layer of the soil which is the O-horizon, and is called "Humus".

What dead and decaying material produced in soil is called?
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.
