True, bread mold is a saprophyte. Saprophytes are organisms that obtain their nutrients from dead or decaying organic matter. Bread mold, which mostly belongs to the fungi kingdom, typically grows on bread that has become moist and started to decay. The mold digests the bread by secreting enzymes that break down the carbohydrates and proteins in the bread into smaller molecules, which the mold then absorbs and uses for growth and reproduction.
