  1. Producers or Autotrophs
  2. Primary consumers or Herbivores
  3. Secondary consumers or Carnivores
  4. Decomposers
Decomposers make up the final trophic level in a food chain. Decomposers are the organisms that feed on dead organic matter called detritus of all the trophic levels and help in recycling the nutrients. Examples of decomposers are bacteria, fungi, mites, millipedes, earthworms, nematodes, slugs, crabs and molluscs.
