saprophyte in English
noun
1
a plant, fungus, or microorganism that lives on dead or decaying organic matter.
Unlike more advanced plants, fungi lack chlorophyll and so can only grow as saprophytes (from dead plants or animals); or as parasites (on living plants); or in a mycorrhizal relationship (symbiosis between fungi and the roots of trees).
