Parasite: A plant or an animal organism that lives in or on another and takes its nourishment from that other organism.
Saprotrophs take their food in solution form, from dead and decaying matter. Bacteria, fungi, and fungus-like organisms are examples of saprotrophs. Saprotrophic microbes fungi are also known as saprobes and saprotrophic plants are called saprophytes.
