Answer:
What is the role of saprophytes? Saprophytes break down the dead and decaying organic matter into simpler substances that can be taken up and recycled by the plants. Thus they play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance.
Explanation:
- Saprophytic fungi feed on dead plant and animal remains. Many are extremely beneficial, breaking down this organic material into humus, minerals and nutrients that can be utilised by plants. Without these fungi we would also disappear under a mountain of unrotted dead leaves and logs!
- It would not be correct to say that human beings are saprotrophic. Satrotrophes are organisms that derive nutrition by decomposing the dead remains of plants and animals but human beings do not decompose.
- Most fungi are saprophytic and not pathogenic to plants, animals and humans. However, a relative few fungal species are phytopathogenic, cause disease (e.g., infections, allergies) in man, and produce toxins that affect plants, animals and humans.
- Saprotrophic fungi are key regulators of nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. They are the primary agents of plant litter decomposition and their hyphal networks, which grow throughout the soil–litter interface, represent highly dynamic channels through which nutrients are readily distributed.
