Matter that is not used by consumers in the food chain become "detritus". Detritus, meaning debris or waste, are materials that are missed or uneaten by consumers. Because they do not participate in higher trophic levels, these materials are left to decompose. Detritus is often considered the "missing mass" when measuring the total mass in the food chain.

Insects often act as pollinators for plants. In turn, plants provide these insects with food. What kind of a relationship exists
sesenic [268]
A very strong relationship. I'll take the easiest example :the bees. They are so important for our planet. Without them, we and all living creatures on earth would be on track to dispariton. Let me explain why. At first, the bees need the nectar from flowers to make honey ( source of food ). As they pollen from flower to flower, they transport pollen on their tiny little legs and in this way, they help the plants to reproduce themselves. If, for some reason, there will be no more bees. Plants and flowers will not thrive, plants will be eaten without having contribued to the productivity of the species and they will go out. No plants, no more veggies or fruits for herbivorous and humans, no more herbivorous no more food for carnivorous, etc. Also, without plants, there will be less oxygen on our planet. Slowly the fauna and flora will die on earth and then it will be our turn. That is why relationships with plants and insects are so important. Plants produce oxygen for all of us and they are a natural and healthy source of food and insects help plants to survive and thus save the species.
