The correct response is:
"While detritivores feed on dead organic matter, decomposers actually break down dead or decaying organisms."
Detritivores consume decomposing organic material, while decomposers (such as fungi and bacteria) break down these materials at a biochemical level and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
