Heterotrophic
The fruiting bodies in cellular slime molds serve as structures for spore formation and dispersal, allowing the organism to reproduce. Sporangia in cellular slime molds are specialized structures that contain spores, which are dispersed to new environments to colonize and continue the life cycle. Both structures are essential for the reproductive success of cellular slime molds.
Slime molds are all cellular. The unique fact is that they may or may not be multinucleated.

Slime molds are multinucleated cellular organisms .
Cellular slime molds are distinguished from plasmodial slime molds by the presence of individual, distinct cells that remain separate even during the feeding stage. In contrast, plasmodial slime molds have a multinucleate, single cell mass during feeding.
both organisms are different but have same common character both leads double life
Slime molds are considered to be heterotrophs. Slime molds obtain their energy by consuming soil, decaying wood, and other decaying materials.
A cellular organism produces ATP (either infecting another organism or not), has ribosomes being able to originate daughter cells, therefore having species. An acellular organism doesn't match this criteria. Examples are virus and prions.
Yes, there are different types of slime molds and water molds. Slime molds, primarily classified into myxogastrids (plasmodial slime molds) and dictyostelids (cellular slime molds), exhibit unique life cycles and structural forms. Water molds, belonging to the oomycetes group, include various species that thrive in aquatic environments and can affect plant health. Each type plays distinct ecological roles and has unique characteristics.
