كويز تفاعلي: Role of Decomposers

Decomposers play a vital role in our ecosystem by breaking down dead plant and animal matter. This process recycles essential nutrients back into the soil, which allows new plants to grow and flourish. Common examples of decomposers include bacteria and fungi. Fungi, studied by mycologists, use hair-like strands to spread through wood or soil. Some fungi like yeast are used in food production, while others possess the unique ability to digest environmental pollutants like oil and pesticides. Without decomposers, dead organic matter would accumulate indefinitely, and ecosystems would fail to function.
