A decomposer is an organism that breaks down long chain polymers from dead organisms into smaller molecules. Decomposers are bacteria and fungi. What they do is use the parts and energy to build up their own materials, which are also organic.
Decomposers are heterotrophs. This means they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development.
