Decomposer
Decomposers (or
saprotrophs
) are organisms that consume dead organisms, and, in doing so, carry out the natural process of
decomposition
. Like
herbivores
and
predators
, decomposers are
heterotrophic
, meaning that they use
organic substrates
to get their
energy
,
carbon
and
nutrients
for growth and development. Decomposers use deceased organisms and non-living organic compounds as their food source. The primary decomposers are
bacteria
and
fungi
.
