Why do we not decompose when we are alive?

Does our immune system fight off the bacteria that make us rot? I’m just curious after watching someone describe getting trench foot. Thanks 😊

Not an answer per se, but Semi-related. Interestingly and shocking, I recently read about a Japanese man who was irradiated in a nuclear accident. His DNA was completely destroyed by the radiation, so his body could not produce new cells to replace the old cell, meaning he was literally decomposing while alive for 83 days.
