As far as I know there is no such thing as saprophytic digestion, however a saprophyte is any organism that live on dead matter. I know however that saprophytic fungi digest their food extracellularly, meaning the food is broken down in compartments that are continuous with the outside of the specie's body (i.e Gastrovascular cavity found in many animals with relatively simple body plans.)
