The true statement is:

Composting speeds up the decomposition of organic material.

Composting involves a controlled process that utilizes various microorganisms, insects, and environmental factors to accelerate the breakdown of organic waste into compost. The other statements are not accurate:

  • Decomposition involves a variety of organisms, including fungi, larger decomposers like insects and worms, and not just microorganisms.
  • Organic material can decompose naturally without composting.
  • Insects generally aid in the decomposition process rather than delay it.
