Ocean decomposers play a vital role in marine ecosystems by breaking down dead plants, animals, and organic waste. These organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and certain marine worms recycle nutrients back into the ocean. Their work helps maintain the balance of marine food webs and supports the growth of new ocean life. Without decomposers, the ocean would accumulate waste and lose essential nutrients needed for survival.
