A saprophyte is an organism that feeds on the decomposing materials in the soil, by releasing certain enzymes for faster decaying of those substances.
Thus, it enriches the soil with more organic matters that are needed for healthy plant growth. The soil becomes rich with all the necessary nutrients due to the activities of these saprophytes.
Also, it helps in eliminating all the waste products from the soil in a bio-friendly manner. Usually, some special bacteria and fungi act as the saprophytes in the soil.
