Are consumers and decomposers necessarily heterotrophs?
Decomposition refers to an organism that decomposes organic matter into inorganic matter, so it must be heterotrophic.

However, some organisms can be both producers and consumers (Nepenthes), and some organisms can be both consumers and decomposers (jackals, vultures and other scavengers), but there is no producer and decomposer.
