👉 Composal is a process in which plants, animals, or other living organisms break down organic matter into simpler substances. This can be done by breaking down dead cells, decomposing leaves, bark, and other plant parts, or by extracting nutrients from soil. For example, plants use the sun's energy to break down their own roots, soil particles, and other materials to make food for themselves and their offspring. Animals, on the other hand, use their digestive systems to breakdown food into smaller molecules
