Fungus-like protists obtain their food from dead matter. Protists are eukaryotic microorganisms.
saprotrophs depend on dead and decaying matter for their food neds. it releases enzymes in their surrounding environmentto break down complex food into organic matter and then absorbs this simple organic food to obtain energy.
Bacteria produce enzymes to break down dead organic matter eg carcus, plants, also some that are inside you, intestines etc. eg. e.coli steal your food ;)
fungi
they get their food from dead organic matter and by ingesting organism.
From dead and decay matter.
The most popular means by which bacteria obtain food is through absorption. Bacteria release enzymes that break down organic matter around them, allowing them to absorb the resulting nutrients directly into their cells.
They eat dead materials; such as, rotting wood, dead leaves, etc.

Scavengers (like vultures) and detritivores feed upon the dead.
Detritivores obtain energy by consuming dead organic matter, such as decaying plant material or animal remains. They break down this organic matter into simpler compounds through the process of decomposition, releasing energy that they can use for growth and reproduction. This plays a crucial role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Fungi do not need dead wood to make food, as they are able to obtain nutrients through decomposition of organic matter. While they do play an important role in breaking down dead wood in forests, fungi are also able to obtain nutrients from various other sources such as living organisms, soil, and decaying plant material.
Decomposers obtain food by, obliviousely, decomposing rotting plants, leaves etc. They also might eat dead animals.
