Animals that live under a rotting log include insects like beetles, millipedes, and worms. These decomposers help break down the log and recycle nutrients back into the soil. Additionally, small mammals like salamanders and mice may also seek shelter and food in this habitat.

Plants like mosses, ferns, fungi, and small flowering plants can be commonly found under a rotting log. These plants thrive in the moist and shaded environment provided by the log and help in the decomposition process. They contribute to the forest ecosystem by recycling nutrients and providing habitat for other organisms.
