Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decomposers are organisms that breakdown dead organic matter. In lakes, the benthic zone (the bottom of the lake) is where most of the dead organic matter settles, providing a habitat for decomposers to thrive. The limnetic zone is the open water area of the lake, the littoral zone is the shore area where rooted plants are found, the profundal zone is the deep-water area of the lake below the reach of sunlight, and the abyssal zone refers to the deep sea habitat, not found in lakes.
