Solution

Microbes ensure that the dead and decaying plants are broken down into simpler organic matter. This process in which dead and decaying matter, such as plants and animals are broken down by microbes is known as decomposition and such microbes are called decomposers. These decomposers help to keep our environment clean and add nutrition to the soil.
