Best Answer

No: decomposers would be organisms such as bacteria or fungi which break apart the decaying remains of the organism. Worms come under the detritivore class: they eat the decaying leaf litter and their faeces are then further broken down by decomposers. And detritivores can take on many forms. Scavenging birds, some rodents, insects (and their larvae) and even larger animals such as coyotes and hyenas eat the decaying matter left behind by plants and animals.
