Decomposition is the natural process of break down of organic matter like dead animal or plant tissue. This process is carried out by invertebrates, fungi and bacteria. Decomposition process helps in the release of chemical energy stored in the bodies of organisms, which is used by the decomposers. The chemicals that are released into the soil are then used up by plants.
