13. Decomposers break down the dead tissue of other species, similar to scavengers and creatures like earthworms and sea cucumbers, but they do not digest their prey. Instead, they convert it into nutrients and absorb it externally. The most common decomposers are fungi, bacteria, and archaea (single-celled organisms that belong to their own domain). See C.
