Explanation:
Rhizopus stolonifer is considered to be saprophytic because it feeds on dead, damp, and decaying matter, such as soil. It is a heterotrophic organism that obtains nutrients by absorption. Rhizopus stolonifer is also considered to be parasitic because it obtains nutrients from living organisms, causing the food to rot.
