Question

The ___ in an ecosystem converts organic materials to inorganic forms .

Open in App
Solution

The decomposers in an ecosystem convert organic matter present in dead remains into inorganic elements. These elements are then released into the environment to enter into biogeochemical cycles. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.
