Solution

Vegetables

Explanation:

Vegetables are organic plant matters that can be naturally broken down and decomposed by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi into simple, non-toxic substances. On the other hand, glass, metal, and plastic are non-biodegradable synthetic or inorganic materials that do not decay and can persist in the environment for hundreds to thousands of years.
