noun. any organism that lives on dead organic matter, as certain fungi and bacteria
Examples of saprophytes are cheese mold, and yeast. The term "saprophyte" refers specifically to fungal and bacterial saprotrophs; animal saprotrophs are known as saprozoites. Other terms, such as 'saprotroph' or 'saprobe' may be used instead of saprophyte.
