Saprophyte Definition

A saprophyte, also referred to as a saprobe or saprotroph, is any organism that feeds and grows on dead organisms. This means that a saprophyte is a decomposer, breaking down complex matter and absorbing the simpler products. Since saprophytes rely on dead plant and animal bodies for food, rather than producing their own as autotrophs do, they are heterotrophs. Keep in mind that although it is still used, saprophyte may be a misleading name, since –phyte means plant. What makes this an issue is that it has been found that no land plants truly feed in the manner that a saprophyte does, but it may seem like it when plants use fungi to acquire nutrients.

Answer:

Saprotrophic nutrition /sæprəˈtrɒfɪk, -proʊ-/ or lysotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi (for example Mucor) and soil bacteria.
