The process of breaking down of dead organisms is called
decomposition.
Decomposition allows nutrients to become
free after organisms die and they are ready to be utilized by living plants and animals
for their growth. My organisms which are part of the decomposition process are also part
of the food chain. Without decomposition, nutrients would remain locked in the dead
bodies of plants and animals and it would be very difficult for new life to grow. Most
of the nutrients that are essential for the plants we get our food from, are the end
result of decomposition.
This makes decomposition necessary
for new life to flourish. Without decomposition life would practically cease to exist
after one cycle.
