how do fungi obtain energy
They obtain their food by feeding on dead decaying organic matters. Their method of feeding is called saprophytism and they themselves are called saprophytes.
Some of them are also parasites, which obtain their food and energy from their hosts. Their mode of feeding is called parasitism.
since fungi lack photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll, they cannot make their own food with the help of sunlight. Inorganic material n nuclear fusion are not the means for obtaining energy by fungi. The correct answer is option C. the fungi grow on dead trees or animals.the fungi secrete enzymes on the dead organism on which is is growing upon.these enzymes digest the organic content of the dead organisms to provide energy to the fungus.
