The organisms who convert dead plant and animal tissues into a dark coloured substance called humus are called decomposers. For example : tiny insects, millipedes, centipedes and other microorganisms

The decomposers play an importnat role in the ecosystem.
They breakdown the organic waste products and dead remains of organisms into the inorganic substances needed by the producers (plants). They break down the complex organic substances into simple inorganic substances that replenish the fertility of the soil. They also serve as food for organisms like earthworms.
