Write a note on decomposers.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The microorganisms that breakdown the dead remains of plants, animals and organic matter into simpler inorganic substances are called decomposers.
These organisms are mainly aerobic and require oxygen-rich conditions to carry out their functioning. Their mode of nutrition is generally saprophytic as they ingest partially digested food material.
