     • Detritivores refers to the class of organisms that feeds on detritus or organic waste. For the uninitiated, detritus is organic matter composed of dead trees, plants and animals. Detritivores may also derive nutrition using coprophagy—a nutrition strategy in which detritivores consume the feces of living organisms.

   What type of Detritus does a detritivore eat?

   • The detritus most typically is of plant origin, but may include the dead remains of small animals. Since this material may also be digested by decomposer organisms (fungi and bacteria) and forms the habitat for other organisms (e.g. nematode worms and small insects), these too will form part of the typical detritivore diet.

   What is detritus in biology?

   • This action is not available. In biology, detritus is dead particulate organic material, as distinguished from dissolved organic material. Detritus typically includes the bodies or fragments of bodies of dead organisms, and fecal material. Detritus typically hosts communities of microorganisms that colonize and decompose it.

   Detritivores (also known as detrivores, detritophages, detritus feeders, or detritus eaters) are organisms that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as feces). There are many kinds of invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants that carry out coprophagy.

   Detritus feeders, also known as decomposers, play a crucial role in the carbon cycle by breaking down dead organisms and waste materials. This process releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through respiration, which is then available for plants to use in photosynthesis.
