What describes the diet of a Saprotroph? -Bones and feathers -Animals and fungus -Plants and fungus

thomaster (thomaster):

Saprotrophs digest dead or decayed organic matter. Fungi are saprotrophs, what do you know about their diet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well Saprotroph is latin for 'dead eater' so I assumed they ate dead or decaying material. So that would make them a decomposer like the fungus and most funguses are capable of digesting the large amount of cellulose in plants, but I don't have any of those as a option. Unless Plants and Fungus counts.

thomaster (thomaster):

I think fungi would eat dead fungi too. So I'd go for option 3 if I had to answer this question.

okay :) thank you very much.
