Differentiate between detritus and detrivores
Dear student.
Detritus simply means waste or debris of any kind. For example, dead plants and animals or their parts.
Detritivore, are those organisms or a saprophage that is a heterotroph which breaks down dead plant or animal matter and helps in recycling of matter. Detrivore includes microorganisms such as bacteria, protists etc.
