Solution

Decomposers like fungi and bacteria are saprotrophs.

Explanation:

Saprotrophs are organisms that get their Himont from dead organic matter or animal and plant leftovers. They're also known as decomposes since they play a key part in mineral recycling by digesting dead organic debris.

Herbivores, connivores, and omnivores are all examples of heterotrophs.
