Answer:

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.

There are many organisms that decompose organic matter. If we didn't have decomposers, we would be inundated with organic matter that is trapped in various forms and unavailable for nutrient acquisition. For example, imagine every fall with all the fallen leaves accumulating without every decomposing. The earth would probably be filled with fallen leaves!

Saprotroph, also called saprophyte or saprobe, organism that feeds on nonliving organic matter known as detritus at a microscopic level. The etymology of the word saprotroph comes from the Greek saprós (“rotten, putrid”) and trophē (“nourishment”). Saprotrophic organisms are considered critical to decomposition and nutrient cycling and include fungi, certain bacteria, and funguslike organisms known as water molds (phylum Oomycota).
