The organisms that depend upon outside sources for obtaining organic nutritens are called heterotrophs. Heterotrophic nutrition is of three types &#8211; saprophytic, parasitic and holozoic.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Saprophytic or Saprotrophic Nutrition:<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition in which food is obtained from organic remains like dead organisms, excreta, fallen leaves, broken twigs, food articles, etc. Organisms performing saprophytic nutrition are called saprophytes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parasitic Nutrition:<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is a mode of hetrotrophic nutrition in which a living organisms flourishes by obtaining food from another living organism. The lving organisms which obtains food and shelter from another organism is called parasite. The organism which provides food and shelter to a parasite is known as host. An external plant parasite is Cuscuta (Amarbel). It is a non-green plant that sends haustroria or sucking roots into host plant for obtaining food and water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Holozoic Nutrition:<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition which involves intake of solid pieces of food. Since solid food is taken in, holozoic nutrition is also called ingestive nutrition. The food may consist of another animal, plant or its parts. Depending upon the source of food, holozoic organisms are of three types \u2013 Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores.<br \/>\n<strong>Herbivores:<\/strong><br \/>\n(L.herba-plant, vorare-to eat). They are holozoic organisms which feed on plants or plant parts, e.g., Cow, Buffalo, Deer, Goat, Rabbit, Grasshopper, Elephant, Squirrel, Hippopotamus.<br \/>\n<strong>Carnivores:<\/strong><br \/>\nThey are animals which feed on other animals. Carnivores are also called predators they hunt, kill and feed on their preys, e.g. Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Snake, Hawk.<br \/>\n<strong>Omnivores:<\/strong><br \/>\n(L.omnis-all, vorare-to eat). They are holozoic organisms which feed on both plant and animal materials, e.g. Cockroach, Ant, Pig, Crow, Rat, Bear, Dog, Humans.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Heterotrophic plants are of the following types:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-118909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Heterotrophic-Nutrition-Types-Of-Heterotrophic-Nutrition-With-Examples-2.png\" alt=\"Heterotrophic Nutrition - Types Of Heterotrophic Nutrition With Examples 2\" width=\"949\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Heterotrophic-Nutrition-Types-Of-Heterotrophic-Nutrition-With-Examples-2.png 949w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Heterotrophic-Nutrition-Types-Of-Heterotrophic-Nutrition-With-Examples-2-300x36.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Heterotrophic-Nutrition-Types-Of-Heterotrophic-Nutrition-With-Examples-2-768x91.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rbrY4ayGfuY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parasitic Plants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A parasitic plant is one that partially or completely depends on another plant (called host) for nutrition.<br \/>\nUsually, parasitic plants develop special roots, which penetrate into the tissues of the host plant.

Some examples are Cuscuta (dodder) and mistletoe.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_135655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-135655\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-135655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Mistletoe-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Mistletoe\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Mistletoe-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Mistletoe.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-135655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">mistletoe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-135657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cuscuta-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"Cuscuta\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cuscuta-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cuscuta-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cuscuta-1024x702.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cuscuta.jpg 1063w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cuscuta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mistletoe has leathery, green leaves, and so it can make its own food. But it depends on the host for minerals and water.<br \/>\nCuscuta (Dodder) has a short root and a long, thread like stem. It twines around the host stem and sends branches around neighbouring stems.<\/p>\n<p>In a parasitic relationship, only the parasitic plant benefits. The parasitic plant harms the host plant to some extent by slowing down its growth and sometimes causing heavy damage.\u00a0However, a parasitic plant rarely kills the host plant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saprophytic Plants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A saprophytic plant is one that obtains its nutrients from dead and decaying plant and animal matter (sapros, rotting; phyton, plant). It is usually whitish, but some plants can have brightly coloured flowers. These plants often have no leaves at all. They often grow in deep shade in tropical forests. Some examples are Indian Pipe and coral root.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-135658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Indian-Pipe-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Indian Pipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Indian-Pipe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Indian-Pipe-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Indian-Pipe-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Indian-Pipe.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Indian Pipe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 193px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-135660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Coral-Root.jpg\" alt=\"Coral Root\" width=\"193\" height=\"262\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coral Root<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Indian Pipe is found commonly in Asia and North America. Coral roots are found in forests around the world.<br \/>\nThe roots of saprophytic plants contain organisms called fungi. The fungi convert the dead and decaying matter into nutrients that can then be used as food like sugar by these plants. Fungi are also called saprotrophs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insectivorous Plants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Insectivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients by trapping and consuming animals, mainly insects. These plants mostly grow in places where either the soil is deficient in certain nutrients (e.g., nitrogen) or too little light is available to carry out photosynthesis.<br \/>\nHence, these plants need to obtain the required nutrients from other sources. Some examples are the pitcher plant, Drosera (sundew), bladderwort, and the Venus flytrap.<\/p>\n<p>The leaf of the pitcher plant is modified to form a tubular pitcher-like structure. The inside of the pitcher is lined with downward pointing hair that do not allow any trapped insect to climb up and escape. The fluid at the bottom of the pitcher contains digestive juices that digest the insect.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-135661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pitcher-Plan-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Pitcher Plan\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pitcher-Plan-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pitcher-Plan.jpg 710w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pitcher Plant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The slender leaves of bladderworts bear a large number of very small, pear-shaped bladder structures, which act like trapdoors and suck in small insects in less than a second.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-135663\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bladderwort-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"Bladderwort\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bladderwort-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bladderwort-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bladderwort.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bladderwort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The leaves of the sundew plant have long, thin structures called tentacles, which have drops of a sticky substance called mucilage at their ends.
