Examples of saprophytic animalia |
| Answer» A\xa0saprophyte\xa0or saprotroph is an organism which gets its energy from dead and decaying organic matter. This may be decaying pieces of plants or\xa0animals. This means that\xa0saprophytes\xa0are heterotrophs. They are consumers in the food chain. ... Some fungi are parasites on living organisms, but most are\xa0saprophytes.\xa0Mushrooms\xa0contain no chlorophyll and most are considered\xa0saprophytes. That is, they obtain their nutrition from metabolizing non living organic matter. This means they break down and "eat" dead plants, like your compost pile does. | |
