Answer: Saprophytic nutrition has been defined as the nutrition mode in which organisms consume their daily food in the form of dead and decomposed matter. Example – Bread mold or Rhizopus, Mucor or pin mold, Agaricus (mushroom), and yeast.
In this mode of nutrition, the organisms get their essential nutrients from decaying matter. The saprophytes absorb the nutrients through their cell wall after which they are broken down into simpler forms. These composites like amino acids, fatty acids, sugar, etc. pass through their mycelium complex and ultimately promote the growth and development of these organisms.
