Decomposer: organisms of decay; a consumer that breaks down the bodies of dead organisms and the waste products of living things. They are also called saprobes. They break down the remaines of dead animals and plants, releasing the substances that can be used by other members of the ecosystem.

Most decomposers are bacteria and fungi.
