Saprotrophic nutrition / s æ p r ə ˈ t r ɒ f ɪ k,-p r oʊ-/ [1] or lysotrophic nutrition [2] [3] is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter.
Earthworms are soil-dwelling detritivores. Detritivores (also known as detrivores, detritophages, detritus feeders or detritus eaters) are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as feces). [1] There are many kinds of invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants that carry out coprophagy.
Saprophyte (-phyte meaning "plant") is a botanical term that is no longer in popular use, as such plants have been discovered to actually be parasitic on fungi. [2]There are no real saprotrophic organisms that are embryophytes, [citation needed] and fungi and bacteria are no longer placed in the plant kingdom.
Saprophyte may refer to: . Saprotrophs; organisms, particularly fungi, which obtain nutrients directly from dead organic matter or wastes; Myco-heterotrophs; plants, fungi, or micro-organisms that live on dead or decomposing matter and parasitize fungi, rather than dead organic matter directly.
