Question

Plants like crotons (which have colourful leaves) can make their food but plants like mushroom cannot why?

Answer 1

Hi friend!

Even though crotons are not green, they can make food from chlorophyll which have different colours. But mushrooms do not have any chlorophyll to make food through the process of photosynthesis. So they are saprophytes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Many plants without green leaves are parasitic - they steal food from other plants or fungi using specialized roots called “haustoria”. Haustoria, like normal roots, absorb water and nutrients, but they grow into another plant (or sometimes fungus) and steal its nutrients instead of taking nutrients from the soil.
