1)Saprotrophs are those organisms which feed on dead organic matter and this mode of nutrition is commonly referred to as the saprophytic mode. Saprotrophic organisms have no chlorophyll and hence, cannot make their own food. For example- mushroom, yeast.
2)Parasitic- Organisms that derive nutrients by living in or on their host are known as parasites and the mode of nutrition is known as parasitic mode of nutrition. For example- Cuscutta.
3)Holozoic:- There are organisms (like amoeba) who take in their food in solid or in a liquid form and digest it inside their body. This mode of nutrition is known as holozoic nutrition.
