Ringworm is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes, which are fungi that obtain their energy and nutrients through a process called respiration. These fungi respire anaerobically, meaning they can break down organic matter without the need for oxygen, although some species may also utilize aerobic respiration when oxygen is available. They absorb nutrients from their host's skin, hair, or nails, converting them into energy needed for growth and reproduction. This process is essential for their survival and the propagation of the infection.
