​What is saprotrophic nutrition? ​​

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (C) Organism takes food from dead and decaying matter.

• Saprotrophic nutrition is a mode of nutrition in which organisms feed on dead and decaying organic matter.
• These organisms secrete digestive enzymes onto the dead material, which breaks it down externally. The digested nutrients are then absorbed by the organism.
• Examples of organisms showing saprotrophic nutrition: Fungi (e.g., mushrooms), Some bacteria.

Information Booster:

• Organism depends on other animals and shares nutrition: This describes a symbiotic or mutualistic relationship, not saprotrophic nutrition.
• Organism depends on plants for nutrition: This represents herbivorous or parasitic nutrition.
• Organism depends on insects for nutrition: This could describe insectivorous plants or predatory behavior, not saprotrophic nutrition.
