Answer
1. Decomposer microorganisms like fungi and bacteria.
2. Dry waste adds carbon and balances moisture, while wet waste provides nitrogen; both are needed for efficient decomposition.
3. Rhizobium bacteria.
4. Rhizobium fixes atmospheric nitrogen into forms plants can use, naturally enriching the soil with nutrients.
5. Composting recycles organic waste, reduces landfill use, and avoids harmful chemical runoff into water bodies.
