The correct response is:
While detritivores feed on dead organic matter, decomposers actually break down dead or decaying organisms.
Detritivores consume dead organic material (such as leaf litter, dead animals, and feces), while decomposers (like bacteria and fungi) break down and chemically transform that material into simpler substances, contributing to nutrient recycling.
