All of the above organisms are capable of consuming detritus as part of their decomposition processes. Bacteria and archaea are particularly important in breaking down complex organic molecules into simpler compounds, while fungi play a crucial role in breaking down tough plant materials like cellulose and lignin. Earthworms and other larger soil organisms can also contribute to detritus decomposition by physically breaking down plant material and creating pores in the soil for microbial activity.
