Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fungi are mostly saprotrophic decomposers that assist in recycling of nutrients in ecosystems. They break down dead organic matter and release nutrients back into the soil or water for other organisms to use. Algae, protozoans, and ciliates are not primarily decomposers, and viruses are not considered living organisms and do not have the ability to decompose organic matter.
