Saprophytes are the living organisms that live and feed on dead and decaying organisms. They are considered extremely important in soil biology. They break down the complex organic matter into simpler substances that are taken up by the plants for various metabolic activities. Thus, saprophytes play a significant role in the ecosystem. Fungi and a few bacteria are saprophytes.

Saprophytes have certain characteristic features:

They produce filaments.

They are devoid of leaves, roots and stem.

They cannot perform photosynthesis and are heterotrophs.

They can produce spores.

The saprophytes secrete digestive juices and breakdown the organic matter around them. The fungi grow tubular structures known as hyphae that branch into the dead matter and produce digestive enzymes.

Answer:

the earth will get dirty.and the carbon dioxide which is realeased by saprophytes after decaying matter will not realeased so the earth will get colder.

also saprophytes makes complex matter simple ,hence no heterotoph will survive .and no life Weil exist.
