As a colony of braconid wasps undergo metamorphosis, they live on a hornworm and digest its insides, causing the hornworm to die. This is an example of: Why:

The white projections are the larvae of the braconid wasp, Cotesia congregatus. Larvae that hatch from the wasp's eggs, which are laid on the hornworm, feed on the inside of the hornworm until the wasp is ready to pupate. Such “host” hornworms should be left in the garden in order to conserve the beneficial parasites

Paraitism.

Explanation:

By living on the hornworm and eating the insides, they harm it and cause it to die.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
