‘Things’ that can be decomposed by decomposers are known as….
• Detrivores (also known as detritus detritus feedersfeeders) shred dead material into small pieces
• Speeds up the process of decomposition by decomposersdecomposers
• Without them the process of decompositiondecomposition would take very much longerlonger
