Toby Higgins · Answer 1

"Both decomposers and consumers gain energy by consuming organic matter. A decomposer, however, only includes organisms that consume dead organisms, while consumers may consume any organisms, dead or alive. Decomposers are counted as consumers, but not all consumers are decomposers."
