Which Type of Organism Feeds on Already Dead Material

Question

Which type of organism feeds on already dead material?
A) Autotroph
B) Homotroph
C) Decomposer
D) Grazer

Accepted Answer

Decomposers are organisms that feed on dead organic matter and break it down into simpler forms, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food, while heterotrophs are organisms that feed on other living organisms. Grazers are organisms that feed on living plants, and homotrophs are not a recognized scientific term.
