It is every living organism that feeds on decaying plant organic matter or that help to decompose it. It comes from the Greek roots sapros (rotten) and phytosanitary (plant). Generally these are microorganisms, especially fungi or bacteria. Pudridores fungi or molds are also called them. Higher organisms that play this role are told scavengers.
