They are called parasites
they are called decomposers/rot examples: mushrooms fungi
When plants and animals (any living matter) decay, their remains are in the soil, in the material called humus.
The material formed from decaying leaves and organic matter is called humus. Humus is a dark, organic material that provides nutrients for plants and helps improve soil structure and fertility. It plays a crucial role in promoting healthy and productive ecosystems.
In all living organisms there is a nucleic acid known as Deoxyribonucleic acid. in this DNA are chromosomes. protecting the ends of these chromosomes are small caps called telomeres. these protect the cells from deteriorating but lack the ability to keep themselves from decaying; therefore, in some organisms, these telomeres are more efficient and keep those macromolecules lasting longer than in other organisms.
Organisms that eat other organisms are called consumers or predators.
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.
the decaying matter in soil is called humus.
'Decomposition' for decaying plant and animal organic material. 'Detritus' for inorganic decaying material in soil. Hope this helps, John
Decaying material in the soil is called, "Humus". (HYOO-muss)
Organisms that break down wastes an dead organisms and return the raw material to the environment are called decomposers.
Multicellular organisms that obtain food by breaking down decaying material are called saprotrophs. They play an important role in the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the environment. Fungi, some bacteria, and certain insects are examples of saprotrophs.

The name of a young fly is called a maggot. They are able to eat prodigious amounts of decaying material. They are actually a great benefit to the removal of dead organisms.
It is call humus because it is the decaying part of plant and animals.
Such organisms are called decomposers, which include micro fungi and bacteria . They decompose dead and decaying organic matter. An organism that decomposes decaying organisms leaf litter and other types of dead organic matter is called a saprobe, saprotroph ,saprophytic .

An organism which cannot make its own food but instead absorb nutrition from decaying organisms is called a saprophyte. for example, fungi are saprophytic organisms.
