1. Fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs that get their nourishment from outside sources.
2. The majority of fungi live free in soil or water, but some have parasitic or symbiotic interactions with plants or animals.
3. Fungi create digestive enzymes that help to break down complex foods into simpler forms.
4. Saprophytic fungi play an important role in nature's carbon and mineral cycles, as well as the degradation of cellulose and lignin in dead plants.
5. They can also exist as symbionts, living in combination with algae as lichens and higher plant roots as mycorrhiza.

Final answer: Fungi show the saprophytic mode of nutrition.
