Answer 2

Answer: An organism, especially a fungus or bacterium, that lives on and gets its nourishment from dead organisms or decaying organic material. Saprophytes recycle organic material in the soil, breaking it down into in simpler compounds that can be taken up by other organisms.Saprophytic fungi or saprophytes usually live on decaying vegetation, such as sticks, leaves and logs, and are commonly found throughout the environment.

Explanation: Other terms, such as 'saprotroph' or 'saprobe' may be used instead of saprophyte. Examples- cheese mold, and yeast. The reason saprophytes are so beneficial to the environment is that they are the primary recyclers of nutrients. They break down organic matter so that the nitrogen, carbon and minerals it contains can be put back into a form that other living organisms can take up and use.
