This is a picture of a sea star. A sea star is an example of a detritivore. A detritivore is an organism that feeds off of the remains from decomposing plants or animals. The sea stars' diet consists of a wide variety of plants and animals, but it is common for some sea stars to feed off of decomposing animals on the ocean floor. Detritivores are found in all ecosystems and are helpful to their environment by recycling nutrients back to the plants.
