Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -All fungi are heterotrophic, which means that they get the energy they need to live from other organisms. Like animals, fungi extract the energy stored in the bonds of organic compounds such as sugar and protein from living or dead organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -All fungi are heterotrophic, which means they are unable to synthesize their own food (like plants), so they must consume organic matter as food. Some of the species of fungi are parasitic, but most fungi are decomposers, which means they break down dead and decaying material and use that as a source of nutrition.
