All fungi are unable to make their own food, and must consume other live or dead organisms in order to survive. Saprophytes are organisms that get their nutrition from dead organic matter, including fallen wood, dead leaves or dead animal bodies.

Answer:
Fungi are either saprophytic (they feed on dead plant and animal material), parasitic (they feed off a living host) or symbiotic (they share a mutually beneficial relationship with another organism). Saprophytic fungi release enzymes to soften the dead plant or animal.
