Those non-green plants which depend on other organisms for food and derive the food from them are called as saprophytic plants. they release enzymes to break down the complex organic matter into simple form. for example bacteria, fungi etc.
Rhizopus is a saprophytic fungus, meaning it obtains nutrients by decomposing organic matter. It secretes enzymes to break down complex molecules into simpler forms, which it can then absorb and use for nutrition.
Feeding on dead & decaying matter such as dead leaves in the soil or rotting tree trunk is callled saprotrophic nutrition. # Neothia(bird's net or orchid) # Monotropa (Indian pipe ) Feeding by living in or on organisms (host) is called parasitic nutrition. # Cuscuta(Amer bail) # Loranthus
In saprophytic nutrition,some protozoa subsists by the absorption of nutrition materials dissolved in the water where it lives. While in saprozoic nutrition, it involves subsisting on dead animal matter.

Yes, earthworms are considered saprophytic organisms. They feed on decomposing organic matter, such as dead plants and animal material, breaking it down into simpler forms. This process not only helps recycle nutrients in the soil but also enhances soil structure and fertility. Through their feeding activities, earthworms play a crucial role in the ecosystem by facilitating decomposition and nutrient cycling.
Fungi, specifically the Kingdom Fungi, contains organisms that are saprophytic. They obtain nutrients by decomposing dead or decaying matter in their environment.
Saprophytic bacteria are those that live and feed on dead matter. The examples of the same include Agaricus, Rhizopus and mucor.
