Second link of the food chain
b
The organisms, which attack dead animals are the known as decomposers. They feed( primary consumer) on detritus matter ($1 ^ {st}$ Trphoic level of Detritus Food Chain ) and hence occupy the $2^{nd} $ Trophic level in $DFC.$. Decomposers are heterotrophic organisms, mostly bacteria and fungi, which lives on dead organic matter or detritus. They release different enzymes from their bodies into the dead and decaying plant and animal remains, leading to the release of simple inorganic substances. Thus, they play an important role in the cycling of minerals
