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.
