Saprophytes feed on dead decaying matter. They decompose these decaying matter into simpler organic matter in the environment. Examples of saprophytes include fungi such as moss plant, mushroom, fern and lichens.

ⒶⓃⓈⓌⒺⓇ:--
The organisms which obtain their nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter are called saprophytes. Fungi are examples of saprophytes. These organisms extend their mycelium and secrete enzymes to digest the decaying matter. They secret digestive juices (enzymes) like cellulase, proteases,and lipases onto dead and decaying matter to digest it and then absorb nutrients from it.
Examples-- Mushroom, Bread mold, etc.
