Answer
Answer
Decomposers play a vital role in the ecosystem. The key role of decomposers is to cleanse the environment. They decompose the waste generated in water bodies and also help to restore the nutrients present in the soil. If there were no decomposers in the ecosystem, then dead plants and animals would remain as such, and their elements would never be returned to the soil, air and water.
