Solution
Some workers differentiate into two more categories of living beings amongst the biotic components of an ecosystem. These are detritivores and parasites. Parasites belong to diverse groups, $e \cdot g .$, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, worms, etc. Every type of living being can be attacked by parasites.
