Microorganisms are tiny living things that cannot be seen with our eyes. They include bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms play an important role in decay. Decay means the breaking down of dead plants, dead animals, food scraps, and other organic materials.

When something dies or falls to the ground, microorganisms start to feed on it. As they feed, they break the material into smaller and simpler substances. This process releases nutrients back into the soil.
