THE CLEANUP SQUAD

The cleanup squad is made of Detrivores and decomposers which are the animals who eat and decompose what other animals leave behind. Some examples of these are earthworms, and fungus. In every ecosystem you need detrivores and decomposers so the place won’t be full of dead animals and bones. They convert biotic elements such as plants and dead organisms into abiotic elements like minerals. They allow matter to be recycled and reused by other organisms in the ecosystem.
