<Detritus> is nonliving organic material, including dead remains and organic wastes. It is a resource for <decomposers>, not itself an <organism> or a <predator>. In the illustrative <food web>, the dashed arrow from <algae> to <detritus> denotes a material transfer; the solid arrow from <detritus> to <decomposers> denotes resource use.
