‘Fungi’ are called saprophytes because they live on ‘dead and decaying matter’.
Explanation:
- Saprophytes are ‘heterotrophic organisms’ that obtain nutrients from ‘dead organic matter’.
- Fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs which do not manufacture their own food, are one of the major consumers of the food chain and thrive on dead waste for their food.
- They release ‘enzymes’ into the dead matter which degrades the matter and then are ingested.
- This is also called external digestion. Fungi thrive as saprophytes.
