Rewrite with your own words: In ecology, detritus is dead particulate organic material that includes the bodies or fragments of bodies of dead organisms and faecal material. Consumers that get their energy from detritus, called detritivores or decomposers, break down dead organisms from all trophic levels. Prominent here are fungi and bacteria, which break down dead plant and animal material. In terrestrial systems, detritivores probably carry out 80–90% of the consumption of plant matter. The response should be in all capital letters.
