Answer:

Decomposition

Step-by-step explanation:

Matter is passed from the living part of an ecosystem to the non-living part by the action of decomposers.

In this process, microbes takes organic matter and converts them back into inorganic ones.

  • An ecosystem is made up of living and non-living components interacting together.
  • When living organisms die or leaves behind their waste, decomposers helps to recycle them.
  • Organic matter is broken down by these natural recyclers into inorganic matter and forms non-living components.
