How nan decomposers help the consumers and producers stay alive?

Decomposers break down dead organisms, which turns them into fertilizers that can aid plant growth and return the energy to the food chain, and thus provides more food and energy for animals (consumers). When the plants and animals die, they themselves are decomposed, and the cycle begins again.

What triggers cannibalism among animals?

In the natural world survival is usually dependent on the fitness of the animal. For it to remain fit it must consume enough energy to function (starvation etc. can occur if it does not). Thus, if needed, animals may view members of their own species or even populations as food sources. Other animals consume their mating partner after they fertilize since they serve no purpose and the energy requirement in pregnancy is very high. Either way, cannibalism in animals is usually due to the requirement of a food source when all other common sources are unavailable.

What energy source don't come from the sun?

Hydro power did originate from the sun. The energy required to transport water from the lower level to the higher level thus increasing its potential energy required the sun to heat it. Even ocean tidal and wind power also originated at the sun. Gravitational forces causing tides relies on the sun.
