Answer:- Decomposition

Explanation:-

Decomposition is a natural process that occurs in the environment to break down organic substances into simpler substances.

  • All the living organisms that die, are decomposed and their bodies are broken down into simpler substances such that the nutrients are released into the soil.
  • The plants are then able to absorb these nutrients from the soil and thus, the nutrient cycling goes on as the organisms feeds on it.
  • Not only the dead animals but also the fallen leaves and other parts of the plant gets decomposed as they die.
  • The process of decomposition is carried out by living organisms present in the soil such as bacteria. Such organisms are called as decomposers.
