Howard Barrera · Answer 1

answer is decomposition.

Decomposition is part of the nutrient cycle and its the process by which bacteria or fungi break down organic substances into simpler matter. This is a important process for life because it recycles the finite matter that occupies the biosphere.

There are other organisms that do this process, for example, worms.
