Answer 1

Answer:

This mode of nutrition is saprophytic nutrition.

Explanation:

Insects such as flies, spiders, fungi and some bacteria feed on dead and decaying organisms. The mode of nutrition in which an organism feeds on dead and decaying organisms is called saprophytic nutrition. Flies feed on dead and decaying organisms, and spiders do the same sometimes. Thus, they also use the saprophytic method of nutrition.
