explain the Detritivores in the Mississippi alluvial plain and if it's a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore in 3 sentences. Use simple words

1 answer

Detritivores in the Mississippi alluvial plain are animals that eat dead plants and animals, as well as decaying organic matter. They help break down this material, returning nutrients to the soil, which supports new plant growth. Most detritivores are not classified strictly as carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores, since their main diet consists of decomposing matter rather than living organisms.
