Fungi
The kingdom of organisms that absorb nutrients from dead matter, like mushrooms or molds
Real World Example
Imagine cleaning out your refrigerator and discovering expired food that has started to rot. Just as you need to deal with old food breaking down into waste, fungi thrive on breaking down dead organic matter to absorb nutrients. In this analogy, the expired food represents dead organic material, and just as you must manage the decomposition in your fridge, fungi manage decomposition in nature by feeding on it. This process of fungi absorbing nutrients from dead matter is similar to how you would clean your fridge to prevent waste buildup and maintain order, highlighting how fungi help recycle nutrients in the ecosystem.
