Answer:

Decomposers break down all the organic matter into simpilir compounds. This is a very important process because complex compounds which build living organisms can't be broken down by consumers and producers. The chemical cycle wouldn't be able to happen and the whole ecosystem would shut down. Dead plants and animals would be all over the place. New organisms wouldn't be able to be born. Mold breaks down organic materials such as trees. The result is simple compounds gome into existence and can be assimilated by plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

decomposer decomposes :) so it breaks down the organic matter into simpler compounds. it's very important process because complex compounds that build living organisms are not absorbable for other organisms, thus chemical cycling wouldn't be possible and the whole ecosystem would shut down. dead plants and animals would be everywhere and new organisms couldn't be born/grown. mold breaks down dead organic matter like dead trees. as the result simple compounds come into existence and can be assimilated by plants
