What are saprophytes?

An organism that feeds on dead and deteriorating organic stuff is referred to as saprophytes.

Saprotrophs are decomposers that live on or in dead organic matter and secrete enzymes and nutrients into the ecosystem. Fungi are one such example.

With the exception of weathering, which is removed by air, water, or other agents, the deceased organisms will remain the same without detrivores and saprotrophs.

Thus, the correct option is B.
