What are saprophytes?

Bacteria that consume living organisms
Nonpathogenic bacteria that live on dead matter
Pathogenic bacteria that live on plants
Microbes that recycle nutrients

The correct answer is: Nonpathogenic bacteria that live on dead matter

Saprophytes are nonpathogenic bacteria that live on dead matter. Option A is incorrect because it states that saprophytes consume living organisms, which is not true. Option C is incorrect because it refers to pathogenic bacteria, which are harmful to plants. Option D is also incorrect because although saprophytes do recycle nutrients, they specifically do so by breaking down dead matter, not by recycling nutrients in general.
