What is inorganic material?
Organic material is always being used and reused, over and over again. Taken from the soil by plants, called producers, it is then passed on to herbivore consumers, which in turn are eaten by carnivore secondary consumers. The organic material from each, upon dying, are made available for the plants to use again by the decomposers. In many ways, the nutrient cycle resembles a food chain, since, in fact, any complete food chain you can imagine is actually a nutrient cycle as well.
