=> Saprophytic nutrition :

• These saprophytes, splits the food outside the body and takes in.

Ex: Fungi, saprophytic bacteria.....

=> Holozoic nutrition :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• It is also a heterotrophic nutrition...

• In this, the organisms depends on plants and other organisms for food.

• These orgainsms takes the food inside and the food is splitted inside the body...by a process called digestion.
