Soft rot is a common term used to describe the decay and decomposition of various organic materials. However, there are many synonyms used to describe this process, including putrefaction, decay, spoilage, decompose, and rot. Putrefaction refers to the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms, which results in a foul odor and the release of gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide. Decay, on the other hand, is a slower process that involves the gradual breakdown of organic matter over time. Spoilage is a term used to describe the decay of food products, while the term decompose is used more broadly to describe the breakdown of any organic material, including plant matter and animal carcasses. Rot is another general term used to describe the decay of organic material.
