Solution:

Organic remains (dead plant parts, animal remains and excretions) are also called detritus. A food chain, which begins with detritus or dead organic matter is called the detritus food chain. The energy passes into decomposers and detrivores, then to smaller carnivores, then to larger carnivores and so on.
