Decomposition is the process by which dead organic substances are converted into simpler organic or inorganic matter, such as carbon dioxide, water, simple sugars and mineral salts. The process is part of the nutrient cycle and is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space in the biosphere. 

The bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death. Some animals, such as worms, also help decompose organic materials, but there are specialized organisms that do this that are known as decomposers, and the Fungi Kingdom leads this group. The science that studies decomposition is generally known as taphonomy from the Greek word taphos, which means grave.
