Answer 2

Explanation:

Saprophytes : Saprophytes are organisms that obtain nutrition from decaying organic matter. monotropa is a saprophytic plant.

Fungi are saprophytes they are not plants. They are not plants. They grow various kinds of organic material.

You will find fungi on a damp piece of leather, overripe fruits ,stale bread and pickles. Mushrooms are a type of fungi.

The fungi living in the soil feed on decaying plant and animal matter and in the process release useful substances into the soil. Most of the substances are necessary for the growth of plants. These substances are soluble in water. Roots of plants absorb them along with water.

Parasitic : Some plants depend on other plants for food and water . Such plants are called parasitic plants. The plant on which a parasitic plant grows is called the host plant. The parasitic plants have specialised roots det penetrate the host plant and absorb nutrients and water from it. A parasitic plant damages the host plant.

Cuscuta and mistletoe are parasitic plants. Cuscuta plants do not have chlorophyll. Therefore, they cannot make their own food. They depend totally on the host plant for food and water. Such plants are called total parasites plants. total parasitic plant kill the plant on which it grows.

Mistletoe is a parasitic plant but it's not a total parasite. It grows on trees such as mango and teak. It has chlorophyll and make some of its food, but depend on the host plant for water and certain nutrients. Such plants are called partial parasites.
