Answers
Answer
Yes Bacteria and Fungi are Saprophyte!
Explanation
The term "saprophyte" refers specifically to fungal and bacterial saprotrophs, but animal saprotrophs are known as saprozoites.
Other terms, such as 'saprotroph' or 'saprobe' may be used instead of saprophyte.
Strictly speaking, -phyte means 'plant'.

Your answer is YES.
The term "saprophyte" refers specifically to fungal and bacterial saprotrophs, but animal saprotrophs are known as saprozoites.
FUNGI
All fungi are heterotrophic, which means that they get the energy they need to live from other organisms.
Broadly, fungi are either saprotrophs (saprobes), which decay dead organic matter, or symbionts, which obtain carbon from living organisms.
BACTERIA
The examples of saprophytic bacteria include cheese mold, lactic acid, yeast and rotting kitchen waste.
Saprophytic bacteria are fungal organisms that feed off of decaying organic matter.
