What means decaying tissue?

Decaying tissue refers to organic material, such as dead cells or body parts, that is undergoing decomposition due to the action of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. This process involves the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler substances, often resulting in a foul odor and changes in color and texture. Decaying tissue can occur in various contexts, including in living organisms after death or in wounds that become infected. It is a natural part of the life cycle, contributing to nutrient recycling in ecosystems.
