These are substances which are not carbon compounds. They include water, salt and other compounds which provide trace nutrients. We are unlikely to ingest anything as an element, except perhaps iron, which is converted to ions by the stomach acid and then absorbed. You need to be careful when describing inorganic nutrients. Whilst a biologist may refer to something like 'potassium in the diet' , if you are being accurate as a chemist you must remember that it will be a potassium compound that you ingest. (Potassium metal reacts violently with water.)

Are vegetables organic or inorganic?
A vegetable being organic or inorganic can be interpreted two different ways. In Science, vegetables are organic because they contain Carbon. In farming, vegetables can be organic if they are not grown with pesticides, and they can be inorganic if they are grown with pesticides.
What are the contributions of chemistry to nutrition?
Nutrition is defined as the process of intake of nutrients and its utilization by an organism for various metabolic activities. Without chemistry, we cannot understand the concept of nutrients because nutrients are of two types i.e. organic (like - CO2 & H2O) and inorganic (Carbbohydrates,proteins,fats).
What are the examples and uses of organic and inorganic compounds?
An example of an inorganic compound would be sodium chloride, also called table salt; this is commonly used in cooking and food preparation. An example of an organic compound would be isopropyl alcohol, also called rubbing alcohol; this is commonly used as a first aid antiseptic.
Do fungi obtain nutrients by decomposing organic and inorganic materials as well as acting as parasites?
Some are able to do so, yes. Many are either decomposers or parasites and cannot alternate between the two means of getting food.

Is phosphate organic or inorganic?
No, ATP is an organic compound. The full name is adenosine triphosphate, and the adenosine part is made of two carbon rings interlocked with each other. The three phosphate groups are inorganic, and when one is removed from the ATP molecule, the resulting phosphate group is typically notated as Pi, for inorganic phosphate.
