Answer

Energy Producer: Some species can synthesize energy by the process of photosynthesis. Decomposers: Some species decompose organic waste to obtain energy and help reduce waste. During the process, they may produce useful byproducts. Nitrogen Fixation: Some species produce nitrates from nitrogen present in air and hence increase fertility of the soil.
