Importance of decomposer in an ecosystem

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a plant or animal dies, it leaves behind nutrients and energy in the organic material present in its body. Decomposers complete decomposition process by breaking down this organic matter into `NH_(4),CO_(2)` and nutrients. This releases raw nutrients in a form, which is usable to plants again. This process resupplies nutrients to the ecosystem.
