Producers play a part in the recycling of matter by breaking down the cells of dead plants and animals. This process helps to release nutrients and organic molecules back into the environment, where they can be taken up by other organisms and incorporated into new plant and animal cells. By breaking down organic material, producers help to facilitate the cycling of matter through the ecosystem, ensuring that essential nutrients are continually recycled and made available for other organisms to use.
