Why are saprophytes called saprophytes?
They Live of live or Dead Organic matter
Is there term like obligate saprophyte and facultative saprophyte?
Yes, obligate saprophytes are organisms that can only survive by decomposing organic matter, while facultative saprophytes can switch between being parasitic and saprophytic depending on the availability of resources.
Why are fungi called saprophytes?
That is like saying "Are humans vegetarians?" Because fungi are a range of eaters! From parasites (feeders on live plants, trees and organisms) to saprophytes (Feeders of dead material) to mycorrhizical fungi. (Fungi which get energy by making relationships with trees and evenly sharing nutrients)
What would happen if the world had no saprophytes?
Without saprophytes, dead organic matter would not be properly broken down and recycled back into the ecosystem. This would result in a buildup of organic material, leading to nutrient imbalances, lower soil fertility, and overall ecosystem degradation. Ultimately, the absence of saprophytes would disrupt the natural cycling of nutrients essential for the functioning of ecosystems.
Where are Saprophytes located?
Saprophytes are plants that live on dead or decaying matter. They obtain nutriment osmotically by absorbing the products of organic breakdown. Therefore, saprophytes are likely to be found around fallen logs in woods or forests, or on heaps of plant material left to rot at the bottom of your garden.

Do saprophytes have thick walls called endospores?
No, saprophytes do not have thick walls called endospores. Endospores are a type of resistant structure formed by some bacteria, such as Bacillus and Clostridium, to survive harsh conditions. Saprophytes are organisms that obtain nutrients from decaying organic matter in their environment, such as fungi and some bacteria, but they do not form endospores.

What are Heterotrophs are also known as?

Where does fungi live-?
fungi actually live in or on living organisms. They are also called saprophytes
Is there term like obligate saprophyte and facultative saprophyte?
Yes, obligate saprophytes are organisms that can only survive by decomposing organic matter, while facultative saprophytes can switch between being parasitic and saprophytic depending on the availability of resources.
Are mushroom parasites or saprophytes?
They are saprophytes because they live on other decaying matter for their food
What do you understand by saprophytes?
