Best Answer

Fungus gets its food from eating other organisms, which in todays society we call heterotrophic. Heterotrophic means we, and fungi, eat other organisms to obtain energy. Like fungi, we also secrete digestive enzymes into our digestive environment. It's just that we have made this environment portable and keep it within our bodies. Vocabulary words:Heterotrophic-To eat another organism to obtain energy. (example: us, fungi, etc.)

fungi get their food by either absorbing it, or breaking it down (decomposer).

Fungi feed mostly on the nutrients provided by rotting plant matter. They act as decomposers, releasing enzymes that break down the nutrients that they then directly absorb.

Fungi eat their food by releasing enzymes out of their body. Fungi makes their own food which makes it easy for them to feed.
