In the phosphorus cycle, phosphorus can recycle through waste products, decomposition, and **assimilation** of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Assimilation refers to the process by which plants take up phosphorus from the soil, and animals obtain it by consuming plants or other animals. This incorporation of phosphorus into living organisms is crucial for the continuation of the phosphorus cycle.
