Q

What is the importance of fungi as decomposers?

A

Fungi are important part of the environment because they break down dead plant and animal matter. Without dead fungi plant and animal would pile up year after year. Fungi also help break down pollution in soil. Without fungi to destroy it, pollution would build up in the environment.
